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."

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.

Narrated to us Isma'il, and Ibn Abi Adi, from Dawud, from al-Sha'bi, from Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah, Ibn Abi Adi said: Indeed, Ka'b entered the state of ihram with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. They mentioned it, and said: "Three sa's of dates among six needy people."

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 once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us; we were nine men and there was a leather cushion placed among us. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After me, some rulers will come who will speak lies and commit oppression. So whoever goes to them and declares their lies as truth and helps them in their oppression, he has no connection with me and I have no connection with him, and he will not be able to come to me at the Pond of Kawthar. And whoever does not confirm their lies and does not help them in their oppression, then he is from me and I am from him, and he will come to me at the Pond of Kawthar."

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 greet you with salam, 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 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 (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." So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me, "Fast for three days, or give charity of half a sa' of food to six needy people, or offer a sacrifice—whichever is easiest for you."
