English translation

3889. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin Ka'b, who was Ka'b's guide when Ka'b turned blind: I heard Ka'b bin Mālik narrating when he remained behind (i.e., did not join) the Prophet ﷺ in the Ghazwā of Tabūk. Ibn Bukair, in his narration stated that Ka'b said, "I witnessed with the Prophet ﷺ the night of Al-'Aqaba Pledge, when we jointly agreed to be confident and firm in Islām with all our efforts. I would not like to have attended the battle of Badr instead of that 'Aqaba Pledge although, the people consider the battle of Badr superior to it ('Aqaba Pledge).

3889 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ح حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، وَكَانَ قَائِدَ كَعْبٍ حِينَ عَمِيَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يُحَدِّثُ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، بِطُولِهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: وَلَقَدْ «شَهِدْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ العَقَبَةِ، حِينَ تَوَاثَقْنَا عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ، وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِهَا مَشْهَدَ بَدْرٍ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَدْرٌ أَذْكَرَ فِي النَّاسِ مِنْهَا»
