[Machine] For the Prophet ﷺ , he was one of the three who renounced but then Allah accepted their repentance. Ka'b said to the Prophet ﷺ , "Indeed, part of my repentance is that I will only speak the truth and I will donate a charity to Allah and His Messenger from all of my wealth." So the Prophet ﷺ said, "Keep some of your wealth for yourself."
