Bahz narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Asbahani narrated to us, he said: I heard 'Abd Allah ibn Ma'qil, he said: I sat with Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah in this mosque, and I asked him about this verse, so he mentioned the hadith, and said: "Feed six needy people, each needy person half a sa' of food."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: When any one of you performs ablution and does it well, then leaves with the intention of prayer, he is considered to be in prayer until he finishes the prayer. Therefore, during this time, he should not interlace the fingers of his hands with each other.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were in the state of Ihram at Hudaybiyyah with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The polytheists had surrounded us (and were not allowing us to enter the Haram). My hair had grown very long, and during this time, lice began to fall from my head onto my face. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me and said, "Are the lice troubling you?" I replied, "Yes!" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that my head be shaved. On this occasion, the verse was revealed: "And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head (necessitating shaving), he should offer a ransom by fasting, or charity, or sacrifice."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: When any one of you performs ablution and does it well, then leaves with the intention of prayer, he should not interlace his fingers with each other during that time, because he is considered to be in prayer.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered him to shave his head and said: "Fast for three days, or feed six needy people, giving each two mudd of food, or offer a sacrifice of one goat."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the time of Hudaybiyyah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me. My hair was very long. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Perhaps the lice on your head have troubled you a lot?" I replied, "Yes!" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then ordered him to shave his head and said, "Fast for three days, or feed six needy people, each with two mudd of food, or offer a sacrifice of one goat."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once mentioned a tribulation. During this, a veiled man passed by. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him and said, "On that day, he and his companions will be upon the truth." I followed him, caught hold of his shoulder, turned him towards the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and asked, "This man?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes!" When I looked, it was Hazrat Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him).

Abdullah bin Ma’qil (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was present in the service of Hazrat Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who was in the mosque, and I asked him about this verse: "He should give a ransom, that is, fast or give charity or offer a sacrifice." He said: This verse was revealed concerning me. I had pain in my head and I was presented before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and at that time lice were falling on my face. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: I did not think that your pain would reach this extent. Do you have a goat? I said: No. At that moment, this verse was revealed: "And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head, then he should pay a ransom by fasting or giving charity or offering a sacrifice." That is, he should fast for three days or feed six needy people, half a sa’ of wheat to each. This verse was specific to my incident and general for you. It is narrated from Hazrat Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that this verse of ransom was revealed concerning me. The previous hadith is also narrated from this second chain.
