3855. 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Ka'b bin Mâlik narrated that 'Abdullâh bin Ka'b said: "I heard Ka'b bin Mâlik narrating his Hadîth about when he stayed behind and did not join the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on the campaign to Tabûk. He said: 'When I sat down before him I said: "O Messenger of Allâh, as part of my repentance I want to give my wealth in charity to Allâh and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Keep some of your wealth for yourself; that is better for you." I said: "I will keep my share that is in Khaibar." (Saḥîḥ)

3824 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: فَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثَهُ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ» فَقُلْتُ: فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ «مُخْتَصَرٌ»

‘Sat before him (the Prophet ﷺ)’: This occurred at the time when the announcement of the acceptance of his repentance was already made, and he had gone anxiously to meet the Prophet ﷺ. Fifty days had already passed.
