Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The lice of my head were troubling me. I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, and Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "So whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head, then his ransom (fidyah) is fasting, or charity, or a sacrifice." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me and said: "Do you have a faraq (that is, a specific measure of grain)? Distribute it among six poor people." The narrator says: A faraq is three sa'. (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) "Or else sacrifice a goat, or fast for three days." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Decide one of them for me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Feed six poor people."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: This narration is reported in the Sahih in abridged form.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator, Muhammad bin Ubaydullah al-Arzami, who is matruk (abandoned).
