Repentance and Wealth

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Ka'b bin Malik's repentance and the Prophet's advice to him to keep some of his wealth.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Ka'b: I heard Ka'b bin Malik talking about the Verse:-- 'And to the three (He also forgave) who remained behind'. (9:118) saying in the last portion of his talk, "(I said), 'As a part (sign) of my repentance, I would like to give up all my property in the cause of Allah and His Apostle,' The Prophet said to me, 'Keep some of your wealth as it is good for you". (To the three (He also forgave) who remained behind till for them the earth, vast as it is, was straitened".. (9:118)
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، قَالَ أَحْمَدُ حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ كَعْبٍ ـ وَكَانَ قَائِدَ كَعْبٍ مِنْ بَنِيهِ حِينَ عَمِيَ ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ ‏{‏وَعَلَى الثَّلاَثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا‏}‏ قَالَ فِي آخِرِ حَدِيثِهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَنْخَلِعَ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ أَمْسِكْ بَعْضَ مَالِكَ، فَهْوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Ka'b bin Malik, who was one of the three people who stayed behind during a battle. He felt guilty for not joining the battle and wanted to repent by giving away all his wealth in Allah’s cause. The Prophet advised him that it was good for him to keep some of his wealth as well. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to do our best in any situation, but if we make a mistake or fall short, then we should sincerely repent and seek forgiveness from Allah. We should also remember that it is important to be wise with our finances and not give away all our money without thinking carefully about it first.
