Sunan an-Nasai 3824 (Book 35, Hadith 64) #18439
Repentance and Charity

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Ka'b bin Malik's repentance for not joining the Messenger of Allah on the campaign to Tabuk. He wanted to give his wealth in charity, but the Messenger of Allah advised him to keep some of it for himself.

'Abdur-Rahman bin Ka'b bin Malik narrated that 'Abdullah bin Ka'b said: "I heard Ka'b bin Malik narrating his Hadith about when he stayed behind and did not join the Messenger of Allah on the campaign to Tabuk. He said: 'When I sat down before him I said: "O Messenger of Allah, as part of my repentance I want to give my wealth in charity to Allah and His Messenger". The Messenger of Allah said: "Keep some of your wealth for yourself; that is better for you". I said: "I will keep my share that is in Khaibar"'."
أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثَهُ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ ‏.‏ مُخْتَصَرٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about repentance and charity. It tells us that when we make a mistake, we should repent and ask for forgiveness from Allah. We can do this by giving our wealth in charity as an act of repentance, but it is also important to keep some of our wealth for ourselves so that we can take care of ourselves and our families. The Prophet Muhammad advised Ka’b bin Malik to do this when he asked for forgiveness after not joining him on a campaign to Tabuk. This teaches us that while it is important to give in charity, it is also important not be too generous with our money so that we are able to take care of ourselves as well as others who may need help or support from us.
