عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ ، قَالَ : قَعَدْتُ إِلَى
كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الآيَةِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ سورة البقرة آية 196 ، فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ : فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ ، كَانَ بِي أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِي ، فَحُمِلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا كِدْتُ أَرَى الْجَهْدَ بَلَغَ مِنْكَ مَا أَرَى ، أَتَجِدُ شَاةً " ، قُلْتُ : لا ، قَالَ : فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ، فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ سورة البقرة آية 196 فَالصَّوْمُ ثَلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ نِصْفُ صَاعٍ مِنْ طَعَامٍ ، وَالنُّسُكُ شَاةٌ .
Abdullah bin Ma’qil reports: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) in the mosque. I asked him about this verse: “Then its compensation is fasting, or charity, or sacrifice.” Sayyiduna Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This verse was revealed about me. I had pain in my head (that is, there were too many lice). I was brought to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and lice were coming onto my face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I did not realize that your distress had increased to the extent that I am now seeing. Do you have a goat? I said: No. The narrator says, so regarding this, the verse was revealed: “Then its compensation is fasting, or charity, or sacrifice.” (The narrator states:) The fasting will be for three days, and in charity, half a sa’ of grain will be given to each needy person, and the sacrifice will be of a goat.
