I said: Messenger of Allah, to make my repentance complete I should divest myself of my property as sadaqah (alms) for Allah and His Apostle. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Retain some of your property, for that will be better for you. So he said: I shall retain the portion I have at Khaybar.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِيَ الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ  

To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when his repentance was accepted: I should divest myself of my property. He then mentioned a similar tradition up to the words, "better for you".  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِ إِنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ إِلَى خَيْرٌ لَكَ  

Ka'b ibn Malik said to AbuLubabah; or someone else whom Allah wished; or to the Prophet ﷺ: To make my repentance complete I should depart from the house of my people in which I fell into sin, and that I should divest myself of all my property as sadaqah (alms). He said: A third (of your property) will be sufficient for you.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَوْ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ أَوْ مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَهْجُرَ دَارَ قَوْمِي الَّتِي أَصَبْتُ فِيهَا الذَّنْبَ وَأَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي كُلِّهِ صَدَقَةً قَالَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْكَ الثُّلُثُ  

"He then mentioned the tradition to the same effect. This versions attributes this story to Abu Lubabah." Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Yunus from Ibn Shihab from some of the children of al-Sa'ib son of Abu Lubabah. A similar tradition has also been transmitted by al-Zabidi from al-Zuhri from Husain b. al-Sa'ib son of Abu Lubabah.  

كَانَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ وَالْقِصَّةُ لأَبِي لُبَابَةَ  

I said: Messenger of Allah, to make my atonement complete I should divest myself of my all property as sadaqah (alms) for Allah and His apostle. He said: No. I said: The half of it. He said: No. I said: Then a third of it. He said: Yes. I said: I shall retain the portion I have at Khaybar.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي إِلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنْ مَالِي كُلِّهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ صَدَقَةً قَالَ لاَ قُلْتُ فَنِصْفَهُ قَالَ لاَ قُلْتُ فَثُلُثَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي سَأُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي مِنْ خَيْبَرَ
