Suraij narrated to us, Abdul Wahid narrated to us, from Abu Rawq Atiyyah ibn al-Harith, Abdullah ibn Khalifah narrated to us, from Safwan ibn Assal, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent us in a detachment, and he mentioned similar to the hadith of Yunus.

Zar bin Hubaysh (may Allah have mercy on him) says that one day I went to Hazrat Safwan bin Assal (may Allah be pleased with him), so he asked, "What brings you here?" I said, "I have come in pursuit of knowledge." He said, "Allah's angels, out of joy for the seeker of knowledge, spread their wings for him." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A person (on the Day of Judgment) will be with the one whom he loves." Then he continued narrating hadiths to us until he said, "In the west there is a door which is open for repentance, its width is seventy years' journey. Allah opened it on the day He created the heavens and the earth; it will not be closed until the sun rises from the west. This is the meaning of the statement of Allah the Exalted: 'The Day when some of the signs of your Lord will come...' (the verse)."

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, "Shave your head." On this occasion, this 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 so many lice had infested my head that I thought every hair on my head, from root to tip, was filled with lice. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saw this condition, he ordered me to shave my head, and when the mentioned verse was revealed, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Feed six needy people with three sa’ of dates."

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 bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! We have learned how to send salutations (salaam) upon you, now tell us how should we send blessings (salat) upon you?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Say: O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! We have learned how to send salutations (salaam) upon you, now tell us how should we send blessings (durood) upon you?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Say: O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was with the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the lice on his head were causing him great distress. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) 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. Whatever you do will suffice for you."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while I was lighting a fire under a pot, and lice were falling onto my face. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Are the lice on your head troubling you?" I replied, "Yes!" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then ordered him to shave his head and said, "Keep three fasts, or feed six needy people, each with two mudd of food, or offer a sacrifice of one goat. Whatever you do will suffice for you."

Affan narrated to us, Shu’bah narrated to us, Al-Hakam informed me, he said: I heard Abdur-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, he said: Ka’b ibn ‘Ujrah met me... then he mentioned the hadith.
