Chapter: The Hadith of Ka‘b ibn ‘Ujrah and Its Various Chains Regarding the Concession for Shaving the Head
Hadith 4272
عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ وَقَدْ حَصَرَنَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَكَانَتْ لِي وَفْرَةٌ فَجَعَلَتِ الْهَوَامُّ تَسَاقَطُ عَلَى وَجْهِي، فَمَرَّ بِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟)) قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ، قَالَ: وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ}
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were in the state of Ihram with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the place of Hudaybiyyah. The polytheists of Makkah prevented us from going forward. My hair was long and lice were falling on my face. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me and asked: Are the lice of your head causing you trouble? I replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to shave my head, and this verse was revealed: {فَمَنْ کَانَ … أَوْصَدَقَۃٍ أَوْ نُسُکٍ} (And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head, then he should shave his head and offer a ransom of fasting, or charity, or sacrifice).
Hadith 4273
((وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ) فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَالَ: صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ، مُدَّيْنِ مُدَّيْنِ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ أَوِ انْسُكْ بِشَاةٍ، أَيَّ ذَلِكَ فَعَلْتَ أَجْزَأَكَ
(Second chain) It is narrated similarly, except that in it: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered him to shave his head and said: For expiation, fast for three days, or feed six needy people in such a way that each one receives two mudd of food, or slaughter a goat. Whichever of these actions you do, it will suffice for you.
Hadith 4274
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَالِثٍ بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ) فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْلِقَ وَهُمْ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَلَمْ يَتَبَيَّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحْلِقُونَ بِهَا، وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْفِدْيَةَ فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ فَرْقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ أَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَذْبَحَ شَاةً
(Third chain) It is narrated similarly, except that in this version it is stated: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered me to shave my head, while the Muslims were still at the place of Hudaybiyyah and they did not yet know that all of them would have to shave their heads at that place. Everyone was still hoping that they would enter Makkah. Meanwhile, Allah Almighty revealed the command of fidyah. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered me to distribute one faraq among six needy people, or to fast for three days, or to sacrifice one goat.
Hadith 4275
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ رَابِعٍ بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ) قَالَ: فَاحْلِقْهُ وَاذْبَحْ شَاةً أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَصْعِثٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ
(Fourth chain) This hadith is narrated in the same way, except that it states: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shave your head and, as compensation, either slaughter a goat, or fast for three days, or distribute three sa’ of dates among six needy people.
Hadith 4276
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ خَامِسٍ) عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ الْمُزَنِّيِّ قَالَ: قَعَدْتُ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ (وَفِي لَفْظٍ: يَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ الْكُوفَةِ) فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} قَالَ: فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ: نَزَلَتْ فِيَّ، كَانَ بِي أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِي فَحُمِلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي، فَقَالَ: ((مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّ الْجَهْدَ بَلَغَ مِنْكَ مَا أَرَى، أَتَجِدُ شَاةً؟)) فَقُلْتُ: لَا، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} قَالَ: صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ إِطْعَامُ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ، نِصْفَ صَاعٍ طَعَامٍ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ، قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ فِيَّ خَاصَّةً وَهِيَ لَكُمْ عَامَّةً
(Fifth Chain) Abdullah bin Ma’qil Mazni says: I was sitting in the mosque of Kufa with Sayyiduna Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked him about this verse {فَفِدْیَۃٌ مِّنْ صِیَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَۃٍ أَوْ نُسُکٍ} (Surah Al-Baqarah: 196). He said: This verse was revealed about me. There were lice in my head, so I was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and lice were falling on my face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I did not think that you would be in so much pain and hardship. Are you able to slaughter a goat? I said: No. At that time, this verse was revealed: {فَفِدْیَۃٌ مِّنْ صِیَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَۃٍ أَوْ نُسُکٍ} (Surah Al-Baqarah: 196), meaning to fast three days or feed six needy people in such a way that each one gets half a sa’. Sayyiduna Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This verse was specifically revealed about me, but its ruling is general for all of you.
Hadith 4277
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ سَادِسٍ بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ) قَالَ: ((أَتَقْدِرُ عَلَى نُسُكٍ؟)) قُلْتُ: لَا، قَالَ: ((فَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ، لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ نِصْفُ صَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ))
(Sixth chain) It is narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Are you able to sacrifice a goat? I said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then fast for three days or feed six needy people in such a way that each needy person receives half a sa’ of dates.
Hadith 4278
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ سَابِعٍ) عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَمِلْتُ، حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ كُلَّ شَعْرَةٍ مِنْ رَأْسِي فِيهَا الْقَمْلُ مِنْ أَصْلِهَا إِلَى فَرْعِهَا، فَأَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ: ((احْلِقْ)) وَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ، قَالَ: ((أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَصْوَعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ))
(Seventh Chain) Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah says: There were so many lice in my hair that I began to think that from the root to the tip of every single hair on my head, there were only lice. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw my condition, he said: Shave your head. And regarding this, this verse was revealed. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Feed six needy people three sa’ of dates.
Hadith 4279
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَامِنٍ) عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَعْدَةَ عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ كَعْبًا أَنْ يَحْلِقَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الْقَمْلِ، قَالَ: ((صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ مُدَّيْنِ مُدَّيْنِ أَوْ اذْبَحْ))
(Eighth Chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to shave his head because of lice, and said: Fast for three days, or feed six needy people, giving two mudd to each needy person, or slaughter a goat.
