Sunan an-Nasai 3826 (Book 35, Hadith 66) #18441
Repentance and Charity

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Ka'b bin Malik's repentance and his intention to give his wealth in charity to Allah and His Messenger. The Prophet advised him to keep some of his wealth for himself.

It was narrated from 'Ubaydullah bin Ka'b: "I heard my father Ka'b bin Malik narrate: 'I said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has saved me by my being truthful, and as part of my repentance I want to give my wealth in charity to Allah and His Messenger. He 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 مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنَّمَا نَجَّانِي بِالصِّدْقِ وَإِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي الَّذِي بِخَيْبَرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of repentance and charity. It was narrated from 'Ubaydullah bin Ka'b that he heard his father Ka'b bin Malik narrate that he asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) if he could give all of his wealth in charity as part of his repentance. The Prophet advised him to keep some of it for himself as it would be better for him. This teaches us that while we should strive to give our wealth in charity, we should also take care not to deprive ourselves or our families from basic necessities such as food or clothing. We should also remember that Allah rewards us more when we spend out of what He has given us than when we spend out of what others have given us.
