Who was Kaʿb's guide when Kaʿb turned blind: I heard Kaʿb bin Malik narrating: When he remained behind (i.e. did not Join) the Prophet ﷺ in the Ghazwa of Tabuk. Ibn Bukair, in his narration stated that Kaʿb said, " I witnessed the Al-ʿAqaba pledge of allegiance at night with the Prophet ﷺ when we jointly agreed to support Islam with all our efforts I would not like to have attended the Badr battle instead of that 'Aqaba pledge although Badr is more well-known than it, amongst the people."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ بِطُولِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَلَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ حِينَ تَوَاثَقْنَا عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِهَا مَشْهَدَ بَدْرٍ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَدْرٌ أَذْكَرَ فِي النَّاسِ مِنْهَا
