Sahih al-Bukhari 4159 (Book 64, Hadith 202) #3977
The Order of Al-Fidya

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Ka'b bin Ujra, who was troubled by lice and was ordered by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to shave his head while in a state of Ihram. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) then revealed the order of Al-Fidya, which required Ka'b to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food or slaughter a sheep or fast for three days.

Narrated Ka'b bin Ujra: That Allah's Messenger saw him with the lice falling (from his head) on his face. Allah's Messenger said, "Are your lice troubling you? Ka'b said, "Yes". Allah's Messenger thus ordered him to shave his head while he was at Al-Hudaibiya. Up to then there was no indication that all of them would finish their state of Ihram and they hoped that they would enter Mecca. Then the order of Al-Fidya was revealed, so Allah's Messenger ordered Ka'b to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food or slaughter a sheep or fast for three days.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، وَرْقَاءَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَآهُ وَقَمْلُهُ يَسْقُطُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.‏ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ وَهْوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، لَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحِلُّونَ بِهَا، وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْفِدْيَةَ، فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ، أَوْ يُهْدِيَ شَاةً، أَوْ يَصُومَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ‏.‏
