Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: The hadith of Ka'b ibn Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) in which he said: "I was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with lice falling on my face. He said:
I did not know that your disease is hurting you as much as what I see. Can you sacrifice a sheep?ما كنت أرى الوجع بلغ بك ما أرى، أتجد شاة
Bulugh al-Maram 738
? I said: No. He said:
Fast for three days or feed six poor people, half a Sa’ each.فصم ثلاثة أيام، أو إطعام ستة مساكين لكل مسكين نصف صاع
Bulugh al-Maram 738
It is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. Is this hadith an explanation of the verse:
And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the headفَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِّن رَّأْسِهِ
[al-Baqarah:196]?

Answer: This hadith explains the mentioned verse and indicates, in all its narrations, the choice between the three categories, as is clear from the noble verse, namely fasting for three days, or feeding six poor people, with each poor person receiving half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of the local staple food, such as dates or otherwise, or slaughtering a sheep that is acceptable for the 'Id sacrifice.
