Chapter 17 · The Book of Pilgrimageوحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ، قَالَ: قَعَدْتُ إِلَى كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: {فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} [البقرة: 196]؟ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: نَزَلَتْ فِيَّ، كَانَ بِي أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِي، فَحُمِلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي، فَقَالَ: «مَا كُنْتُ أُرَى أَنَّ الْجَهْدَ بَلَغَ مِنْكَ مَا أَرَى أَتَجِدُ شَاةً؟» فَقُلْتُ: لَا، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ، قَالَ: «صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ إِطْعَامُ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ، طَعَامًا لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ»، قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ فِيَّ خَاصَّةً، وَهِيَ لَكُمْ عَامَّةً.

I sat with Ka'b (رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ) and he was in the mosque. I asked him about this verse: Compensation in (the form of) fasting, or Sadaqa or sacrifice. Ka'b (رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ) said: It was revealed In my case. There was some trouble in my head. I was taken to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and lice were creeping upon my face. Thereupon he said: I did not think that your trouble had become so unbearable as I see. Would you be able to afford (the sacrificing) of a goat? I (Ka'b رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ) said: Then this verse was revealed: Compensation (in the form of) fasting or alms or a sacrifice. He (the Holy Prophet) said: (It Implies) fasting for three days, or feeding six needy perscins, half sa' of food for every needy person. This verse was revealed particularly for me and (now) Its application is general for all of you.
