6690. Narrated Ka'b bin Mālik in the last part of his narration about the three who remained behind (from the battle of Tabūk). (I said), "As a proof of my true repentance (for not joining the battle of Tabūk), I shall give up all my property for the sake of Allāh and His Messenger (as an expiation for that sin)." The Prophet ﷺ said (to me), "Keep some of your wealth, for that is better for you."
