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."

Arabic text

6690 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَكَانَ قَائِدَ كَعْبٍ مِنْ بَنِيهِ حِينَ عَمِيَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ: {وَعَلَى الثَّلاَثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا} [التوبة: 118] فَقَالَ فِي آخِرِ حَدِيثِهِ: إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ، فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ»
