3454. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Abdullāh bin Ka'b bin Mālik narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Ka'b said: "I heard Ka'b narrate the Hadīth about when he stayed behind and did not join the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on the expedition to Tabūk. He said: 'The envoy of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to me and said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ commands you to keep away from your wife." I said: "Shall I divorce her, or what should I do?" He said: "No, just keep away from her and do not approach her." And he sent similar instructions to my two companions. I said to my wife: "Go to your family and stay with them until Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, decides concerning this matter." They were contradicted by Ma'qil bin 'Ubaidullāh:[1] (Saḥīḥ)

3424 - أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ كَعْبًا، يُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثَهُ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ: إِذَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْتِينِي وَيَقُولُ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَعْتَزِلَ امْرَأَتَكَ» فَقُلْتُ: أُطَلِّقُهَا أَمْ مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ؟ قَالَ: «بَلْ اعْتَزِلْهَا وَلَا تَقْرَبْهَا»، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى صَاحِبَيَّ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ، فَقُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي: الْحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ وَكُونِي عِنْدَهُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ «خَالَفَهُمْ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ»
