Bayhaqi 3933 — The prostration of thanks

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أنبأ عُبَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، وَكَانَ قَائِدَ كَعْبٍ مِنْ بَنِيهِ حِينَ عَمِيَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثَهُ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ: حَتَّى كَمُلَتْ لَنَا خَمْسُونَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ حِينِ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَنْ كَلَامِنَا، فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْتُ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ صُبْحَ خَمْسِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَنَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِنَا، فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عَلَى الْحَالِ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ مِنَّا قَدْ ضَاقَتْ عَلَيَّ نَفْسِي وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ صَارِخٍ أَوْفَى عَلَى جَبَلِ سَلْعٍ، يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَبْشِرْ قَالَ: فَخَرَرْتُ سَاجِدًا، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ الْفَرَجُ، وَآذَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِتَوْبَةِ اللهِ عَلَيْنَا حِينَ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ، فَذَهَبَ النَّاسُ يُبَشِّرُونَنَا، وَذَهَبَ قِبَلَ صَاحِبِيَّ مُبَشِّرُونَ، وَرَكَضَ رَجُلٌ إِلَيَّ فَرِحًا، وَسَعَى سَاعٍ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأَوْفَى عَلَى الْجَبَلِ، فَكَانَ الصَّوْتُ أَسْرَعَ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الْفَرَسِ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَنِي الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَهُ يُبَشِّرُنِي نَزَعْتُ ثَوْبِيَّ فَكَسَوْتُهُمَا إِيَّاهُ بِبُشْرَاهُ، وَاللهِ مَا أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهُمَا يَوْمَئِذٍ، وَاسْتَعَرْتُ ثَوْبَيْنِ فَلَبِسْتُهُمَا، فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ.
It is narrated from Abdul-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Ka'b bin Malik that Abdullah bin Ka'b, who was the one among Ka'b's sons who led him about when he became blind, said: I heard Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate his story of staying behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Battle of Tabuk. He narrates the long hadith and says that fifty days had been completed since the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had ordered our boycott. On the morning of the fiftieth night, when I had prayed the Fajr prayer and was on the roof of one of our houses, sitting in the state that Allah Almighty has mentioned about us, "their own souls were straitened for them, and the earth, despite all its vastness, was straitened for them" [Surah al-Tawbah: 118], I heard a caller who had climbed Mount Sal' crying out: O Ka'b bin Malik! Rejoice at good news. I fell down in prostration right there, and I understood that relief had come for me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had announced Allah's acceptance of our repentance when he prayed the Fajr prayer. People began giving us good news and also went to my two companions, and a man came to me with good news. A man from the tribe of Aslam ran and reached the top of the mountain, and the voice reached me faster than the horse. When the man whose voice of good news I had heard came to me, I took off both the garments I was wearing and put them on the one who gave me the good news. By Allah! On that day I owned nothing besides those two garments. Then I borrowed two garments from someone, put them on and came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he mentioned the complete hadith.
