Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، فِي قِصَّتِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي إِلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنْ مَالِي كُلِّهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ صَدَقَةً . قَالَ : " لاَ " . قُلْتُ : فَنِصْفَهُ . قَالَ : " لاَ " . قُلْتُ : فَثُلُثَهُ . قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " . قُلْتُ : فَإِنِّي سَأُمْسِكُ سَهْمِي مِنْ خَيْبَرَ
Translation
Narrated Ka'b ibn Malik
Regarding his story, he said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed as part of my repentance to Allah, I should strip myself of all my wealth as charity to Allah and His Messenger." He said, "No." I said, "Then half of it?" He said, "No." I said, "Then a third of it?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Indeed, I will retain my share from Khaybar."
