Hadith of Ka'b ibn Malik al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 15770 — Hadith of Ka'b ibn Malik al-Ansari
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ لَمَّا تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُنْجِنِي إِلَّا بِالصِّدْقِ ، وَإِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي إِلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا أَكْذِبَ أَبَدًا ، وَإِنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى وَرَسُولِهِ , فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ ، فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ " ، قَالَ : فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي مِنْ خَيْبَرَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Allah accepted his repentance, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Allah has saved me only through the blessing of truthfulness, and now as part of my repentance, I will never lie again. I dedicate all my wealth for Allah and His Messenger. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It would be better if you keep some of it for yourself. He said: Then I will keep my share from Khaybar for myself.
