I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! For the acceptance of my repentance I wish to give all my property in charity for Allah's sake through His Apostle ." He said, "It is better for you to keep some of the property for yourself." I said, "Then I will keep my share in Khaibar."

سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ

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

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

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

"I heard Ka'b bin Malik narrating his Hadith about when he stayed behind and did not join the Messenger of Allah on the campaign to Tabuk. He said: 'When I sat down before him I said: "O Messenger of Allah, as part of my repentance I want to give my wealth in charity to Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah said: "Keep some of your wealth for yourself; that is better for you." I said: "I will keep my share that is in Khaibar."'"

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ 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 ﷺ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ فَقُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ مُخْتَصَرٌ

"I heard Ka'b bin Malik narrating his Hadith about when he stayed behind and did not join the Messenger of Allah on the campaign to Tabuk. (he said) I said: 'As part of my repentance I want to give my wealth in charity for Allah and His Messenger.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Keep some of your wealth for yourself; that is better for you.' I said: 'I will keep for myself my share that is in Khaibar.'"

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ مَالَكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ عَلَىَّ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ

"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

[AI] From him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Messenger of Allah, surely my repentance is that I abandon the house of my people and reside with you, and I give a portion of my wealth as charity to Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "One-third will be sufficient for you."

عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَهْجُرَ دَارَ قَوْمِي وَأُسَاكِنَكَ وَأَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُجْزِي عَنْكَ الثُّلُثُ»

[AI] "O Messenger of Allah, indeed part of my repentance is that I abandon the home of my people and reside with you, and indeed I will give in charity from my wealth to Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A third of the responsibility will be lifted from you."

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَهْجُرَ دَارَ قَوْمِي وَأُسَاكِنَكَ وَإِنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُجْزِئُ عَنْكَ الثُّلُثُ

[AI] "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

[AI] He said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when Allah blessed and exalted him: "O Messenger of Allah, I want to give a charity from my wealth to Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "Hold on to some of your wealth, for it is better for you."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ تَابَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Uthman ibn Hafs ibn Umar ibn Khalda that Ibn Shihab had heard that Abu Lubaba ibn Abd al-Mundhir, when Allah turned to him said, "Messenger of Allah, should I leave my people's house in which I committed wrong action and keep your company, and give away all my property as sadaqa for Allah and His Messenger? "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Giving away a third of it is enough for you."

قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَهْجُرُ دَارَ قَوْمِي الَّتِي أَصَبْتُ فِيهَا الذَّنْبَ وَأُجَاوِرُكَ وَأَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُجْزِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الثُّلُثُ

[AI] His grandfather, Aba Lubabah, when Allah forgave him for his delay in accompanying the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and for his past actions, in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ advised him, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I will abandon my house in which I have committed sins, and I will come to you and live with you, and I will give all of my wealth as charity to Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "You will be rewarded for a third of that."

أَنَّ جَدَّهُ أَبَا لُبَابَةَ حِينَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي تَخَلُّفِهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَفِيمَا كَانَ سَلَفَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي أُمُورٍ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَهْجُرُ دَارِيَ الَّتِي أَصَبْتُ فِيهَا الذَّنْبَ وَأَنْتَقِلُ إِلَيْكَ وَأُسَاكِنُكَ وَإِنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي كُلِّهِ صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُجْزِئُكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الثُّلُثُ»

[AI] When Allah accepted the repentance of Abu Lubabah, Abu Lubabah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have abandoned my people's homeland where I committed sin, and I will give one-third of my wealth as charity for the sake of Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Lubabah, one-third is sufficient for you." So, I gave charity with one-third of my wealth.

لَمَّا تَابَ اللهُ عَلَى أَبِي لُبَابَةَ قَالَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَهْجُرُ دَارَ قَوْمِي الَّتِي أَصَبْتُ بِهَا الذَّنْبَ وأَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا لُبَابَةَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْكَ الثُّلُثَ» قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقْتُ بِالثُّلُثِ

[AI] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, my repentance includes leaving the town of my people where I committed a sin, and giving a third of my wealth as charity to Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A third of your wealth will suffice for you."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَهَجَرَ دَارَ قَوْمِي الَّتِي أَصَبْتُ فِيهَا الذَّنْبَ وَأَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُجْزِئُ عَنْكَ الثُّلُثُ مِنْ مَالِكِ»

[AI] 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»

[AI] 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»

[AI] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed part of my repentance is to give up my wealth and to leave the land of my people in which I committed the sin." So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to him, "A third of that will suffice for you."

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي وَأَنْ أَهْجُرَ دَارَ قَوْمِي الَّتِي أَصَبْتُ فِيهَا الذَّنْبَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُجْزِئُ عَنْكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الثُّلُثُ»

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3317)

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ» قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أَمْسِكُ 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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3317)

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ اللهَ إِنَّمَا نَجَّانِي بِالصِّدْقِ وَإِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ لَا أُحَدِّثُ إِلَّا صِدْقًا مَا بَقِيتُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ وَإِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ قَالَ «أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ» قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أَمْسِكُ سَهْمِيَ الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ

"عَنِ الزُّهْرِىّ: أَنَّ أَبَا لُبَابَةَ لَمَّا تَابَ اللَّهُ -تَعَالَى- عَنْهُ قَالَ: يَا نَبِىَّ اللَّه! إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِى أَنْ أَهْجُرَ دَارَ قَوْمِى الَّتِى أَصبْتُ فِيهَا الذَّنْبَ وَأُجَاوِرَكَ، وَأَنْخَلعَ مِنْ مَالِى صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : يُجْزِئُكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الثُّلُثُ يَا أَبَا لُبَابَةَ".
