3319. It was reported from Sufyān bin 'Uyainah, from Az-Zuhri, from Ibn Ka'b bin Mālik that his father, or Abū Lubābah or whomever Allāh willed, said to the Prophet ﷺ: "As part of my repentance I shall give up the house of my people in which I fell into sin, and I shall give up all of my wealth as charity." He said: "One third of your wealth is sufficient for you." (Hasan)
3319 - حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ: قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَوْ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ، أَوْ مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَهْجُرَ دَارَ قَوْمِي الَّتِي أَصَبْتُ فِيهَا الذَّنْبَ وَأَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي كُلِّهِ صَدَقَةً؟ قَالَ: «يُجْزِئُ عَنْكَ الثُّلُثُ».

The story of Abū Lubābah, may Allāh be pleased with him, is that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ besieged the fort of Banū Quraizah – an ally of the tribe of Aws – they consulted Abū Lubābah as to whether or not to agree to the arbitration of Sa'd bin Mu'adh. Abū Lubābah drew his hand across his throat signifying that Sa'd would put them to death. However, he had no sooner done this than he realized that he had betrayed the trust of the Prophet ﷺ. He, therefore, went straight to the Masjid and tied himself to one of its pillars, and swore an oath not to untie himself until Allāh forgave him. At last, after seven days, Allāh accepted his repentance and forgave him.
