حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَصْبَهَانِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَعْقِلٍ، قَالَ قَعَدْتُ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ ـ يَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ الْكُوفَةِ ـ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ فِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ فَقَالَ حُمِلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا كُنْتُ أُرَى أَنَّ الْجَهْدَ قَدْ بَلَغَ بِكَ هَذَا، أَمَا تَجِدُ شَاةً ‏"‏. قُلْتُ لاَ. قَالَ ‏"‏ صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ، لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ نِصْفُ صَاعٍ مِنْ طَعَامٍ، وَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ ‏"‏. فَنَزَلَتْ فِيَّ خَاصَّةً وَهْىَ لَكُمْ عَامَّةً.

English translation
Narrated `Abdullah bin Ma`qil: I sat with Ka`b bin Ujra in this mosque, i.e. Kufa Mosque, and asked him about the meaning of: "Pay a ransom (i.e. Fidya) of either fasting or . . . . (2.196)" He said, "I was taken to the Prophet (ﷺ) while lice were falling on my face. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'I did not think that your trouble reached to such an extent. Can you afford to slaughter a sheep (as a ransom for shaving your head)?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Then fast for three days, or feed six poor persons by giving half a Sa of food for each and shave your head.' So the above Verse was revealed especially for me and generally for all of you

‘আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মা‘কিল (রহঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি কা‘ব ইবনু উজরা-এর নিকট এই কূফার মসজিদে বসে থাকাকালে সওমের ফিদ্য়া সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম। তিনি বললেন, আমার চেহারায় উকুন ছড়িয়ে পড়া অবস্থায় আমাকে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কাছে আনা হয়। তিনি তখন বললেন, আমি মনে করি যে, এতে তোমার কষ্ট হচ্ছে। তুমি কি একটি বকরী সংগ্রহ করতে পার? আমি বললাম, না। তিনি বললেন, তুমি তিনদিন সওম পালন কর অথবা ছয়জন দরিদ্রকে খাদ্য দান কর। প্রতিটি দরিদ্রকে অর্ধ সা‘ খাদ্য দান করতে হবে এবং তোমার মাথার চুল কামিয়ে ফেল। তখন আমার ব্যাপারে বিশেষভাবে আয়াত অবতীর্ণ হয়। তবে তোমাদের সকলের জন্য এই হুকুম। [১৮১৪] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৪১৫৯, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
