حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَعَدْتُ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ:‏‏‏‏ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ[ سورة البقرة آية 196]، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ كَعْبٌ:‏‏‏‏ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ كَانَ بِي أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحُمِلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا كُنْتُ أُرَى الْجُهْدَ بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا أَرَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَتَجِدُ شَاةً ؟ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ:‏‏‏‏ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ[ سورة البقرة آية 196]، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَالصَّوْمُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ نِصْفُ صَاعٍ مِنْ طَعَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالنُّسُكُ شَاةٌ.

“I sat with Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah رضی اللہ عنہ in the mosque and asked him about this Verse: ‘He must pay a compensation of either fasting (three days) or giving charity (feeding six poor persons) or offering sacrifice (one sheep).’ [2:196] Ka’b said: it was revealed concerning me. I had trouble with my head, so I was carried to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), with lice crawling on my face. He said: ‘I did not think that you were suffering as much as I see. Do you have a sheep?’ I said: ‘No.’ Then this Verse was revealed: “He must pay a Fidyah (ransom) of either fasting (three days) or giving Sadaqah (charity – feeding six poor persons) or offering sacrifice (one sheep).” [2:196] He said: ‘Fasting is three days, charity is to be given to six poor persons, giving each one half of a Sa’ of food, and the sacrifice is a sheep.’”
