[Machine] 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."

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.

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."
