English translation

3854. 'Abdullâh bin Ka'b bin Ubayy narrated from his father, that he said to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ – when his repentance was accepted: "O Messenger of Allâh! I want to give all my wealth in charity for Allâh and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: "Keep some of your wealth for yourself; that is better for you." (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abû 'Abdur-Raḥmân (An-Nasâ'î) said: It appears that Az-Zuhrî heard this Hadîth from 'Abdullâh bin Ka'b and from 'Abdur-Rahmân[1] from him; in this Hadîth is the long narration about the repentance of Ka'b.

3823 - حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الزُّهْرِيُّ سَمِعَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَمِنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْهُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ الطَّوِيلِ تَوْبَةُ كَعْبٍ»

Commentary

The incident belongs to the expedition of Tabûk. Ka'b ﷺ did not participate in this battle on account of inadvertence and procrastination. Thereupon, he was punished. Then an announcement of the acceptance of his repentance was made in the Glorious Qur'ân.
