2202. It was reported from Ibn Shihāb who said: 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Abdullāh bin Ka'b bin Mālik informed me that 'Abdullāh bin Ka'b — who was the guide for Ka'b bin Mālik when he became blind — said: "I heard Ka'b bin Mālik" and he narrated his story regarding the incident of Tabūk. He said: "So when forty of those fifty (days) had passed, a messenger came from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has commanded you to leave your wife.' I said: 'Should I divorce her, or what?' He said: 'No, just leave her, and do not approach her.' So I
said to my wife: 'Go to you family, and stay with them until Allāh, Most High, decides in this matter.'"[1] (Saḥīh)
