Are the lice on your head causing you trouble? The narrator states: I replied: Yes. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered me to fast, give charity, or offer a sacrifice—whichever of these was easiest for me (to offer as expiation).

Sayyiduna Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to me—this was at the time of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah—while I was lighting a fire under my cooking pot and lice were falling onto my face. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: Are the lice on your head troubling you? I replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Shave your head and fast for three days, or feed six needy people, or sacrifice a sheep. The narrator named Ayyub says: I do not know which of these was mentioned first.

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin 'Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the Treaty 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) asked: Are the lice of your head troubling you? I replied: Yes. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then shave it and offer a sacrifice of a goat, or fast for three days, or give three sa' of dates in charity to six needy people.

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.

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on the occasion of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Are the lice on your head troubling you?" He replied: "Yes." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then shave your head and either offer a goat in sacrifice, or fast for three days, or feed six needy people with three sa’ of dates."

Abdullah bin Ma’qil narrates: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked him about the statement of Allah Almighty:“Then its compensation is fasting, or giving charity, or offering a sacrifice.”So Sayyiduna Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him) informed: I was brought to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while lice were falling on my face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I did not think that your suffering had increased to the extent that I am now seeing. Do you have a goat? I replied: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then fast for three days, or feed six needy people, giving each needy person half a sa‘ (measure). Sayyiduna Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: So this verse was revealed specifically about me, but its ruling is general for all of you.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) heard a man saying:“I am present to perform Hajj on behalf of Shubrumah.”The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked:“Who is Shubrumah?”He replied:“He is my brother”(the narrator is unsure, perhaps he said:)“He is my relative.”The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked:“Have you performed Hajj for yourself?”He replied:“No.”The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“Then perform this (Hajj) for yourself, and afterwards perform Hajj on behalf of Shubrumah.”(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him),“perform it for yourself,”by this the Prophet (peace be upon him) intended to inform that when a person has not performed Hajj for himself, it is not permissible for him to perform Hajj on behalf of someone else. And the statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him),“then perform Hajj on behalf of Shubrumah,”this command is for permissibility, not for obligation.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (on the mount). A woman who belonged to the tribe of Khath'am came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask a question. Sayyiduna Fadl (may Allah be pleased with him) began to look at her and she began to look at Sayyiduna Fadl (may Allah be pleased with him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned Sayyiduna Fadl's (may Allah be pleased with him) face to the other side. The woman said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Allah Almighty has made Hajj obligatory upon His servants, and it has become obligatory upon my elderly, aged father who does not have the ability to sit on a mount, so can I perform Hajj on his behalf? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. (The narrator says) This incident took place during the Farewell Pilgrimage.

Yahya bin Abu Ishaq narrates: A man asked Sulaiman bin Yasar about a woman who intends to free a slave on behalf of her mother. Sulaiman replied: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated this hadith to me: A man asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), he said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! When my father accepted Islam, he was old and advanced in age. If I tie him to the riding animal, I fear he will die, and if I do not tie him, he will not be able to sit on it. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: What do you think, if your father had a debt and you paid it off on his behalf, would it be fulfilled? He replied: Yes. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Then perform Hajj on behalf of your father. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) This narration is evidence for the permissibility of analogy (qiyas).

Sayyiduna Abu Razin Uqayli (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! My father is an old, elderly man; he does not have the strength to perform Hajj or Umrah, nor to sit on a mount. So the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Perform Hajj on behalf of your father and also perform Umrah on his behalf. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The name of Sayyiduna Abu Razin (may Allah be pleased with him) is Laqit bin Amir.
