3321. It was reported from Ibn Ishāq, he said: "Az-Zuhri narrated to me, from 'Abdur-Rahmān bin 'Abdullāh bin Ka'b, from his father, from his grandfather" about his story. He said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, as part of my repentance to Allāh, I shall give all of my wealth to Allāh and His Messenger as charity.' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Then half of it.' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Then one third.' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'And I shall keep my share of Khaibar.'" (Hasan)

3321 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ فِي قِصَّتِهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي إِلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنْ مَالِي كُلِّهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ صَدَقَةً؟ قَالَ: «لَا» قُلْتُ: فَنِصْفُهُ؟ قَالَ: «لَا» قُلْتُ: فَثُلُثُهُ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ: فَإِنِّي سَأُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي مِنْ خَيْبَرَ

Commentary

If a person has vowed to give his entire wealth in charity, he may fulfill his vow by donating one third of it in charity.
