I heard Kaʿb bin Malik talking about the Verse:-- 'And to the three (He also forgave) who remained behind.' (9.118) saying in the last portion of his talk, "(I said), 'As a part (sign) of my repentance, I would like to give up all my property in the cause of Allah and His Apostle,' The Prophet ﷺ said to me, 'Keep some of your wealth as it is good for you." (To the three (He also forgave) who remained behind till for them the earth, vast as it is, was straitened..." (9.118)  

فِي آخِرِ حَدِيثِهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمْسِكْ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهْوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ  

In the last part of his narration about the three who remained behind (from the battle of Tabuk). (I said) "As a proof of my true repentance (for not joining the Holy battle of Tabuk), I shall give up all my property for the sake of Allah and His Apostle (as an expiation for that sin)." The Prophet ﷺ said (to me), "Keep some of your wealth, for that is better for you."  

َقَالَ فِي آخِرِ حَدِيثِهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهْوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ  

"O Messenger of Allah! I want to give all my wealth in charity for Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah said to him: "Keep some of your wealth for yourself; that is better for you."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ 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  

"I heard my father Ka'b bin Malik narrate: 'I said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has saved me by my being truthful, and as part of my repentance I want to give my wealth in charity to Allah and His Messenger. He said: Keep some of your wealth for yourself; that is better for you. I said: I will keep my share that is in Khaibar.'"  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ إِنَّمَا نَجَّانِي بِالصِّدْقِ وَإِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ  

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  

[Machine] "When Ka'b ibn Malik repented to Allah, he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'Verily, Allah has only saved me through truthfulness, and part of my repentance to Allah is that I will never lie again. And I will give a portion of my wealth as charity to Allah and His Messenger.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him, 'Keep some of your wealth, as it is better for you.' He replied, 'But I will keep my bow from Khaybar.'"  

أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ لَمَّا تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يُنْجِنِي إِلَّا بِالصِّدْقِ وَإِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي إِلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا أَكْذِبَ أَبَدًا وَإِنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي مِنْ خَيْبَرَ  

[Machine] Abdullah ibn Ka'ab ibn Malik, when Allah guided him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to him and he said, "O Messenger of Allah, Allah has saved me through truthfulness, and part of my repentance is that I will not lie and I will give up some of my wealth for the sake of Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hold onto some of your wealth, as it is better for you." He said, "I will hold onto the arrow of Khaybar."  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ حِينَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ جَاءَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا أَنْجَانِيَ اللهُ بِالصِّدْقِ وَإِنْ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ لَا أُحَدِّثَ كَذِبًا وَأَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمْسِكْ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ» قَالَ أُمْسِكُ سَهْمَ خَيْبَرَ  

[Machine] He said to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he came to him, "O Messenger of Allah, I will give charity from my wealth to Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to him, "Keep some of your wealth, as it is better for you."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمْسِكْ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "O Messenger of Allah! Indeed, part of my repentance is to give charity from my wealth to Allah and to His Messenger." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Hold onto some of your wealth, as it is better for you."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ»
