وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ سورة البقرة آية 196 ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : " ادْنُهْ فَدَنَوْتُ " ، فَقَالَ : " ادْنُهْ فَدَنَوْتُ " ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ : وَأَظُنُّهُ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " فَأَمَرَنِي بِفِدْيَةٍ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ مَا تَيَسَّرَ " .
Kalb bin Ujra (RA) reported: It was I for whom this verse was revealed (to the Holy Prophet): "Whoever among you is sick or has an ailment of the head, he (may effect) a compensation by fasting or alms or a sacrifice" He said: I came to him (the Holy Prophet) and he said: Come near. So I went near. He (again) said: Come near. So I went near. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Do the vermins trouble you? Ibn Aun (one of the narrators) said: I think he (Ka'b bin Ujra) replied in the affirmative. He (the Holy Prophet) then commanded to do compensation by fasting or by giving sadaqa (feeding six needy persons) or by sacrifice (of a animal) that is available.
