(17871) The guide of Ka'b bin Malik (who used to guide him due to his blindness) narrates: I heard Ka'b bin Malik narrating the incident of him staying behind in the battle of Tabuk. Ka'b said: I had never stayed behind in any battle except the battle of Tabuk and the battle of Badr, but in that (Badr), Allah had not prescribed any punishment for those who stayed behind, because you (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had set out with the intention of intercepting the caravan of Quraysh, not for fighting, while the encounter with the enemy happened without any prior appointment. And I was present during the pledge of allegiance at Aqabah. To be present there is dearer to me than (being present at) Badr, even though Badr is more famous among the people than (the pledge of) Aqabah.
My situation is that I stayed behind in the battle of Tabuk, while I had never been stronger nor wealthier than I was at that time. Before I stayed behind in this battle, I had never possessed two mounts. In this battle, I had two mounts, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had never clearly specified (the destination) for previous expeditions as he did this time. And you had set out during the intense heat, towards a distant destination, towards victory, and towards (facing) a large number of enemies. You had made the matter clear to the Muslims so they could prepare themselves according to the enemy's preparations, and you had informed (them) about the direction you were heading towards. Muslims were also in large numbers, and there was no arrangement for anyone to stay behind.
Ka'b said: No one could even think of being absent except that he knew that revelation would come down and (his absence) might remain hidden, (but) not later.
You (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arranged this expedition when the fruits had ripened and the shade was pleasant. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the Muslims prepared themselves. I too started preparing in the morning so that I could be ready with you, but I couldn't make up my mind. I said to myself: When I want, I will get ready. I kept delaying until the departure of the people became imminent. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the Muslims set out in the morning, and I still hadn't made a decision. So I said to myself: I will set out in a day or two and catch up with you (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Then I got up in the morning with the intention of getting ready, but then I returned (home) without making a decision. Morning and evening passed, but I couldn't make up my mind. I kept delaying continuously until the army had departed quickly, and the battle had commenced. I thought of setting out and catching up with them. I wish I had done that, but it wasn't destined for me. After the departure of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), whenever I went out among the people, it would sadden me to see the hypocrites or the weak who had genuine excuses. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) didn't remember me until you reached Tabuk. There, you asked the people: "What happened to Ka'b?" A man from Banu Salimah said: "O Messenger of Allah! He has been held back by his two cloaks, he is busy looking at their designs."
Muadh bin Jabal said: "You haven't said a good thing. O Messenger of Allah! We do not hold such an opinion about him." You remained silent.
Ka'b said: When I came to know that the caravan of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was returning, my mind decided to resort to falsehood. Now I started rehearsing lies, thinking about how to escape your anger and seeking help from my family in fabricating excuses. When it was announced that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was arriving in the morning, falsehood abandoned me, and I knew that I wouldn't be saved by lying. I held fast to the rope of truth.
You arrived in the morning, and it was your habit that whenever you came, you would first offer two rak'ahs of prayer in the mosque. When you had done so, those who stayed behind came to you and presented their excuses, taking oaths. These were more than eighty men. You accepted their outward appearances, accepted their pledges of allegiance, sought forgiveness for them, and left their inner reality to Allah. I came and greeted you. You smiled, but with anger, and said: "Come forward." I came and sat before you. You (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "What kept you behind? Didn't you pledge allegiance?" I said: "Why not? O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, if I were before anyone else in the world, I could have escaped his anger with an excuse, as I have been gifted with the art of eloquence. But I knew that if I were to please you today with a lie, it is possible that Allah would make you angry with me. And if I tell you the truth, then whatever punishment you inflict upon me in this matter, I hope for Allah's forgiveness." By Allah, I have no excuse. I was never as strong or as wealthy as I am now, even though I stayed behind. You said: "He has spoken the truth. Get up from here until Allah decides your matter."
I got up. Some of the people of Banu Salimah started saying: "By Allah, we did not know of any sin committed by you before. Then why couldn't you present an excuse like the others did, especially when the intercession of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was enough for your sin?" They continued to blame me until I decided to go and save myself by lying. Then I asked: "Is there anyone else with me?" They replied: "Yes, two men." I asked: "Who are they?" They answered: "Murarah bin Ar-Rabi' and Hilal bin Umayyah." They named two righteous men who were present at Badr. I took them as my example, and I became firm when they were mentioned. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prohibited the people from talking to us three who stayed behind. So the people started avoiding us and turned away from us, to the extent that it seemed as if the earth itself was rejecting us. We remained in this state for fifty nights. My two companions stayed in their homes, while I was young and strong. I would go to pray with the Muslims and roam around the market, but no one would talk to me. I would come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while he was in his gathering after the prayer. I would greet him, trying to see if his lips moved in response to my greeting, and I would pray while stealing glances at him. When I turned towards prayer, he would look at me, and when I looked at him, he would turn away.
When the Muslims' boycott became prolonged, I jumped over the wall of Abu Qatadah's orchard. He was my cousin and a dear friend. I greeted him, but by Allah, he didn't respond. I said: "O Abu Qatadah! I call you to witness, don't you know that I love Allah and His Messenger?" He remained silent. I repeated (my words), but he still remained silent. When I repeated it a third time, he said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." My eyes welled up with tears. I turned back and jumped over the wall again.
Ka'b said: I was in a market when a Syrian man who used to bring wheat from Syria and sell it in Madinah came to me. He asked: "Who can take me to Ka'b?" People started pointing towards me. He came to me and gave me a letter from the king of Ghassan. As I was a scribe, I could read. It was written in it: "It has reached me that your companion has treated you unjustly, and Allah has not created you to be humiliated or destroyed. Come to us, and we will treat you well." After reading it, I said: "This is also a trial." I looked for a stove and threw the letter into it.
When forty days had passed out of the fifty, a messenger of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came and said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had ordered me to separate from my wife. I asked: "Should I divorce her, or do something else?" He replied: "No, just separate from her and do not go near her." The same message was conveyed to my two companions. I said to my wife: "Go to your family's house until Allah decides my matter."
Ka'b said: The wife of Hilal bin Umayyah came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Hilal bin Umayyah is an old man, and you wouldn't even like someone to serve him?" You said: "No, but she should not go near him." She said: "By Allah, he has no strength for that. He has been continuously weeping since that day until now." My family told me to seek permission regarding my wife as well, just as permission was granted for Hilal bin Umayyah's wife to serve him. I said: "By Allah, I will not seek permission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) regarding this matter. I don't know what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) will say if I seek permission, as I am a young man."
We remained in this state until fifty days had passed. On the fiftieth night, while I was sitting on the roof of my house, having offered the Fajr prayer, I was feeling suffocated, and the earth seemed to have shrunk for us despite its vastness. Suddenly, I heard a voice from above the mountain of Sal' saying: "O Ka'b, rejoice!" I fell into prostration, knowing that relief had come, and that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had announced the acceptance of our repentance after the Fajr prayer. People started coming to me with the good news. My two companions came riding on a horse to give me the good news. One of them climbed a high place, and his voice reached me before the horseman. When the one whose voice I had heard arrived, I took off my cloak and made him wear it, out of joy for the good news. By Allah, I had no other garment except that. I borrowed two garments and went towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). People were congratulating me in crowds, saying: "May Allah grant you glad tidings, your repentance has been accepted!"
When I entered the mosque, Talhah bin Ubaydullah rushed towards me and greeted me with a handshake, congratulating me. Besides him, no one else from the Muhajireen came to me, and I never forgot Talhah's action. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, while his face was radiant with joy: "O Ka'b! Rejoice in the best day (of your life) since your mother gave birth to you." I asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Is this from you or from Allah?" You replied: "No, it is from Allah." And whenever you gave good news, your face would brighten up as if it were a piece of the moon, and this was witnessed on your face.
Ka'b said: When I sat before you, I said that in gratitude for the acceptance of my repentance, I would give all my wealth in charity for the sake of Allah and His Messenger. You said: "Keep some of your wealth with yourself, it is better for you." So I said that I had a share in Khaibar. Then I said: "Allah has saved me because of truthfulness. Now, the demand of repentance is that I should never utter a lie as long as I live." By Allah, I do not know of any Muslim after that day who was tried with (adhering to) truthfulness as I was, and after that day, I never intended to lie, and I hope that Allah will protect me from it for the rest of my life.
Allah revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the Quran:
*{Indeed, Allah has turned with acceptance to the Prophet, the Muhajireen, and the Ansar - who followed him in the hour of difficulty - after the hearts of a party of them had almost inclined (to doubt), and then He turned to them (in forgiveness). Indeed, He is to them Kind, Merciful. And (He turned in mercy) to the three who had stayed behind (and were left) until, when the earth became constricted for them, despite its spaciousness, and their souls were straitened within them, and they believed that there was no refuge from Allah except in Him, then He turned to them so they might repent. Indeed, Allah is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful. O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with those who are true (in word and deed).}* [At-Tawbah 117-119]
There is no blessing more beloved to me after accepting Islam than the truthfulness with which I spoke to the Messenger of Allah, and I did not lie that day. Had I lied, I would have been destroyed, just as those who lied were destroyed. Allah has described the worst form of lying through revelation. Allah says:
*{They will swear by Allah to you when you return to them that you might turn away from them. So turn away from them. Indeed they are filth, and their refuge is Hell as recompense for what they used to earn. They swear to you so that you might be pleased with them. But if you should be pleased with them, indeed, Allah is not pleased with a people persistently disobedient.}* [At-Tawbah 95-96]
Ka'b said: We three were delayed in the matter which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had accepted from others when they swore oaths and pledged their allegiance, and he sought forgiveness for them. Our matter was delayed until Allah gave His decision regarding it. Allah said about us:
*{And (He turned in mercy) to the three who had stayed behind (and were left)…}* [At-Tawbah 118]
Allah did not mention the delay from the battle here, but rather the delay in the decision regarding us from those who swore oaths and made excuses, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) accepted (their excuses). The decision regarding us was delayed.

17871 Hazrat Kaab bin Malik ke qaid (jo aap ki rahnumai karte the nabina hone ki bina par) farmate hain ki maine Kaab bin Malik ko suna, woh Ghazwah Tabook se apne peeche rehne ka waqea bayan karte hain Kaab kehte hain : mein kisi ghazwah mein peeche nahin raha tha kabhi bhi magar Ghazwah Tabook mein aur Ghazwah Badr mein magar us mein Allah ne peeche rehne wale par saza nahin rakhi thi, kyunki aap ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) Quresh ke qaafle ke irade se nikle the nah ke larai ke liye jabke muqarrar karne ke baghair hi dushman se samna hogaya tha aur mein bai'at Aqabah mein maujood tha. Is mein maujood hona mujhe Badr se ziada pasand hai. Agarche Badr logon mein bai'at Aqabah se ziada mash'hoor hai. Mera waqea kuch is tarah hai ki mein Ghazwah Tabook se peeche reh gaya, halanki is se pehle nah itna qawi tha aur nah itna sahulat mein tha. Jab mein is ghazwah se peeche reh gaya. Is se pehle mere paas kabhi do sawariyan nahin thin. Is ghazwah mein do sawariyan thin aur Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) is se pehle ghazwaat ke liye wazeh baat nahin karte the jabke is dafa wazeh bata diya tha aur sakht mausam mein aap tawil safar ki taraf nikle aur kamyabi ki taraf aur dushman ki ziada tadaad ki taraf aap ne maamle ko musalmanon ke liye wazeh kiya taaki dushman ki taiyari ke mutabiq taiyar hon aur aap ne is taraf ki khabar di jahan jana tha. Musalman bhi kasrat mein the jabke hazri ka intezam bhi nahin tha.
Kaab kehte hain : koi ghaib hone ka guman hi karsakta hai magar woh ye janta hai jab tak wahi nahin aayegi ho sakta makhfi rahe baad mein nahin.
Ye ghazwah aap ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ne us waqt barpa kiya jab phal pak gaye the aur saaye achhe the. Nabi ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) aur musalman taiyar hue. Mein bhi subah ke waqt taiyari karne laga taaki aap ke sath taiyar ho sakun lekin koi faisla nah karsaka. Apne dil mein kaha : jab chahun ga to taiyari karlun ga mein late hota raha yahan tak ki logon ki sanjida gi sakht hogayi. Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) aur musalmanon ne subah ki aur mein koi faisla nah karsaka to maine dil mein kaha : ek do din mein chala jaun ga aur aap ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) se mil jaun ga. Phir maine subah ki jab ki log ja chuke the taaki taiyari karun. Phir laut aaya aur koi faisla nah kar paya. Subah o sham hoti rahi magar mein koi faisla nah karsaka mein musalsal late hota raha hatta ki lashkar jald nikal gaya aur laraai shuru hogayi maine irada kiya ki کوچ karun aur un ko palun. Kash mein aisa karta lekin ye mere muqaddar mein nahin tha. Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ke jane ke baad jab mein logon mein nikalta to ye baat mujhe gham zada kar deti thi ki mein nifaq mein doobe logon ko dekhta ya kamzor logon ko dekhta jin ka uzr tha. Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ko mera khayal nah aaya hatta ki aap Tabook pahunche to aap ne Tabook mein logon se poocha ” Kaab ko kya hua. “ to Banu Salma ke aadmi ne kaha : aye Allah ke Rasul! Is ko do chadron ne rok liya hai woh is ke kinaron ko dekh raha hai.
Muaaz bin Jabal ne farmaya : to ne achhi baat nahin ki. Aye Allah ke Rasul ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم))! Hum un ke bare mein bura khayal nahin rakhte, aap khamosh hogaye.
Kaab kehte hain : jab mujhe khabar mili ki Nabi ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ka qaafla wapas aa raha hai to meri soch ne faisla kiya ki mein jhoot ka sahara lun ga. Ab mein jhoot yaad karne laga aur dil mein kaha ki kis tarah aap ke ghusse se nijaat hasil ki jaye aur apne ghar walon se mashwarat mein madad li. Jab kaha gaya ki Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) subah ko aa rahe hain to jhoot mujh se zael hogaya aur mein jan gaya ki jhooti baat se mein nijaat nahin paun ga maine sach ka daman pakad liya.
Aap subah ke waqt aaye aur aap ki aadat thi. Jab aate to masjid mein pehle do rakat padhte the. Jab aap ye kaam kar chuke to peeche rehne wale aur unhon ne apne uzr pesh kiye aur qasmen uthai. Ye assi se upar the. Aap ne un ke zahiri haalaat ko qubool kiya un ki bai'at ko qubool kiya aur un ke liye istighfar kiya aur un ke ghaib ko Allah ki taraf luta diya. Mein aaya maine salaam kaha aap hanse ghusse ke sath the aur kaha : ” aao “ mein aaya aur aap ke samne baith gaya. Aap ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ne poocha : ” kis cheez ne tum ko peeche rakha kya to ne bai'at nahin ki thi? “ maine kaha : kyun nahin? Aye Allah ke Rasul! Allah ki qasam! Agar kisi duniya daar ke paas hota to uzr ke sath is ke ghusse se nikal sakta tha kyunki mujhe baat karne ka fan ata kiya gaya tha. Lekin mein janta tha agar aaj jhooti baat se aap ko raazi karlun to ho sakta hai Allah aap ko mujhe par naraaz kar de aur agar mein sachi baat karun to jo aap is mamle mein mujh par payen to mein Allah se maafi ki umeed karta hun. Allah ki qasam! Koi uzr nahin hai mein kabhi itna qawi aur sahulat mein nahin tha jitna ab hun jabke mein peeche reh gaya hun. Aap ne farmaya : ” is ne sach bola hai utho yahan tak ki Allah tere bare mein faisla kar de. “
Mein utha, Bani Salma ke kuch kehne lage : Allah ki qasam! Hum is se pehle tere kisi gunah ko nahin jante the. Phir bhi to uzr pesh karne se aajiz kyun hua jaisa ki dusron ne uzr pesh kiye. Jabke Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ka istighfar tere gunah ke liye kaafi tha woh mujhe malamat karte rahe hatta ki maine irada karliya ki jaun aur jhoot bol kar apni khilasi kara lun. Phir maine poocha : mere sath koi aur bhi hai to unhon ne kaha : haan do aadmi hain. Maine kaha : woh kaun hain? Jawab mila Murarah bin Rabia aur Hilal bin Umayya hain. Unhon ne do nek aadmiyon ke naam liye jo Badr mein maujood the. Maine un ko namuna banaya, mein pakka hogaya, jab un ka zikar kiya gaya. Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ne peeche rehne walon mein se hum teeno ke sath baat karne se rok diya to logon ne ijtinab kiya aur hum se badal gaye. Yahan tak ki aise mehsoos hota tha ki zameen bhi hamara inkar karti thi. Isi halat mein hum pachas raaton tak rahe. Mere donon sathi apne gharon mein baith gaye aur mein jawan tha aur taqat war tha. Mein namaz mein jata musalmanon ke sath aur bazaar ka chakkar lagata tha aur koi mujh se baat nah karta tha aur mein Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ke paas aata, woh namaz ke baad majlis mein hote mein. Salaam kehta ki dekhun aap ke hont harkat karte hain ya nahin salaam ke jawab dete waqt aur namaz padhta aur aankh chura kar dekhta. Jab mein namaz ki taraf mutawajjah hota to aap meri taraf dekhte jab mein aap ki taraf dekhta to aap airaz karte. Jab musalmanon ki bey rukhi tawil hogayi to mein Abu Qatada ke bagh ki deewar phalang kar andar gaya. Woh mera chacha zad tha aur logon mein mahboob bhi tha. Maine salaam kaha to Allah ki qasam! Is ne jawab nahin diya. Maine kaha : aye Abu Qatada! Mein tujhe gawah banata hun kya to nahin janta hai mein Allah aur is ke Rasul se muhabbat karta hun. Woh khamosh rahe. Maine dohraya woh phir bhi khamosh rahe. Maine teesri baar dohraya to is ne kaha : Allah aur is ka Rasul behtar janta hai. Meri aankhen beh padin. Mein wapas luta aur deewar phalang kar bahar aaya. Kaab kehte hain : mein ek bazaar mein tha ki ek shami mila jo sham se ghala Madinah mein la kar farokht karta tha woh kehta tha : kaun hai jo mujhe Kaab se mila de. Log ishara karne lage : woh mere paas aaya aur mujhe ek khat diya jo Ghassan ke badshah ki taraf se tha. Mein chunki katib tha to padh sakta tha us mein likha tha ki mujhe khabar mili hai ki tere sathi ne tujh se bewafai ki hai aur Allah ne tujhe zillat ke liye nahin banaya aur nah zaya hone ke liye hamare sath mil jao, hum achha bartao karen ge. Maine is ko padh kar kaha : ye bhi ek aazmaish hai, mein tandoor talaash kiya aur is ko tandoor mein phenk diya.
Pachas mein se jab chalis din guzar gaye to Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ka ailchi aaya aur us ne kaha ki Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ne farmaya ki apni biwi se alag ho jao. Kaab ne poocha : kya talaq de dun ya kuch aur karun us ne kaha : nahin balki is se alag ho jao qareeb nah jao, isi tarah mere donon sathiyon ko bhi paigham diya gaya. Maine apni biwi se kaha : jab tak Allah mere mamle ka faisla nahin karta to apne ghar (Makkah) chali ja. Kaab kehte hain ki Hilal bin Umayya ki biwi Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ke paas aakar kehne lagi : Allah ke Rasul! Hilal bin Umayya budha aadmi hai is ki khidmat ko bhi aap pasand nahin karte? Aap ne farmaya : ” nahin magar woh tere qareeb nah aaye. “ us ne kaha : Allah ki qasam is mein to koi sakt nahin hai woh to us din se aaj tak musalsal ro raha hai mujhe mere ghar walon ne kaha ki to bhi apni biwi ke bare mein ijazat le le jis tarah Hilal bin Umayya ke liye ijazat di to woh is ki khidmat karti hai. Maine kaha : Allah ki qasam! Mein is silsile mein Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) se ijazat talab nahin karun ga. Mujhe nahin khabar ki Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) kya kahen ge, agar mein ijazat talab karun aur mein jawan aadmi hun.
Hum isi halat mein rahe ki pachas din guzar gaye. Pachaswen raat mein apne ghar ki chhat par subah ki namaz padhi, mein baitha hua tha mein apne aap se tang tha aur zameen hum par tang hogayi thi kushada hone ke bawajood. Maine Sal'a pahad ke upar se ek aawaz suni abe khush ho jao! Mein sijde mein gir gaya aur mein jan gaya ki nijaat mil gayi hai aur Allah ke Rasul ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ne fajr ki namaz ke baad hamari tauba ki qubooliyat ki khabar di. Log mujhe khushkhabri dene lage, mere do sathi mujhe khushkhabri dene ke liye ek ghode par sawar ho kar aaye aur woh pahad par chadh gaya, us ki aawaz ghode wale se pehle mujh tak pahunch gayi. Jab ye mere paas aaya jis ki aawaz maine suni thi to maine khushkhabri dene ki wajah se apna qameez utar kar us ko pehnaya aur Allah ki qasam! Mere paas is ke alawa koi tha bhi nahin. Maine do kapde udhaar liye aur Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ki taraf chala, log jauq dar jauq mujhe mubarak dete aur kehte : Allah ne teri tauba ko qubool karliya tujhe mubarak ho. Jab mein masjid mein dakhil hua to Talha bin Ubaidullah meri taraf bhaag kar aaye aur musafaha kiya aur mubarak di. Muhajireen mein se un ke alawa aur koi meri taraf nahin aaya aur maine Talha ke is amal ko bhulya nahin hai. Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ne farmaya aur aap ka chehra khushi se chamak raha tha : ” aye Kaab! Mubarak ho jab teri maan ne tujh ko jana us waqt se le ko is behtarin din ki “ maine poocha : aye Allah ke Rasul! Kya ye aap ki taraf se ya Allah ki taraf se? To aap ne farmaya : ” nahin ye Allah ki taraf se hai. “ aur jab aap ko khushkhabri dete to aap ka chehra chamak uthta tha goya chand ka tukda ho aur ye baat aap ke chehre par dekhi gayi. Kaab kehte hain : jab mein aap ke samne baith gaya to maine kaha ki mein apni tauba ki qubooliyat ke shukrane ke taur par apna sara maal Allah aur is ke Rasul ke liye sadqa karta hun to aap ne farmaya : ” apna kuch maal apne paas rakh, ye tere liye behtar hai. “ to maine kaha ki mein Khyber ka hissa rakhta hun to maine kaha : Allah ne mujhe sach ki wajah se nijaat di hai. Ab tauba ka taqaza ye hai ki kabhi jhooti baat nah karun ga. Jab tak zinda rahun Allah ki qasam! Mein kisi musalman ko nahin janta ki jis ki aazmaish sach ki wajah se hui ho jitni aazmaish meri hui aur us din ke baad maine kabhi jhoot ka irada bhi nahin kiya aur mein umeed karta hun ki Allah baqiya zindagi mein bhi mujhe is se mahfooz rakhe ga. Allah ne Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) par Quran nazil farma diya : {laqad tabal laahu 'alal nabiyyi wal muhajireena wal ansaaril lazeenat taba'oohu fee saa'atil 'usratim mim ba'di maa kaada yazeeghu quloopu fareeqim minhum thumma taaba 'alaihim innahu bihim raoofur raheem.

Yaaa ayyuhal lazeena aamanut taqul laaha wa koonoo ma'as saadiqeen.} [Al-Taubah 117 to 119] ” bilashuba yaqinan Allah Ta'ala ne Nabi par mehrbaani ke sath tauba qubool farmaai aur Muhajireen o Ansar par bhi jo tang dasti ki ghadi mein is ke sath rahe. Is ke baad ki qareeb tha ki un mein se ek giroh ke dil tedhe hojaye phir woh un par dobara mehrban hogaya. Yaqinan woh un par bahut shifqat karne wala nihayat reham karne wala hai aur un teeno par bhi jo mauqoof rakhe gaye the yahan tak ki jab zameen un par tang hogayi baawajood is ke ki farakh thi aur un par un ki jaanen tang hogayin aur unhon ne yaqeen karliya ki beshak Allah se panah ki koi jagah is ki janab se khali nahin. Phir is ne un par mehrbaani se tawajjuh farmaai taaki woh tauba karen yaqinan Allah hi hai jo bahut tauba qubool karne wala nihayat reham wala hai. Aye logo! Jo imaan laaye ho Allah se daro! Aur sache logon ke sath ho jao. “ Islam qubool karne ke baad is sachai se badh kar koi nemat mujhe azeez nahin hai jo sach maine Allah ke Rasul ke samne bola aur us din maine jhoot nahin bola agar bola hota to halaak hota jis tarah jhoot bolne wale halaak hue Allah ne wahi ke zariye jhoot bolne ko kaha hai bahut jo kisi ko kaha jaye. Allah farmate hain {sayahlifoona billaahi lakum izaa inqalabtum ilaaihim litu'ridoo 'anhum fa a'ridoo 'anhum innahum rijsunw wa ma'waahum jahannamu jazaaa'am bimaa kaanoo yaksiboon.

Beshak woh gande hain aur un ka thikana jahannam hai is ke badle mein jo kamate hain. Tumhare liye qasmen khayen ge taaki tum un se raazi ho jao pas agar tum un se raazi ho jao beshak Allah nafarman logon se raazi nahin hota. “ Kaab kehte hain : teeno mokher hogaye is mamle mein jis ko Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ne dusron ki janib se qubool karliya jab unhon ne halaf utha diya aur un ki bai'at le li aur un ke liye istighfar kiya aur hamare mamle ko late kardiya hatta ki Allah ne is ka faisla farmaya, is ke bare mein Allah ne kaha : {wa 'alaththalathatil lazeena khullifoo} [Al-Taubah 118] ” aur un teeno par bhi jin ke mamle ko mokher kardiya gaya tha. “ Allah ne yahan ghazwah se late hona zikar nahin kiya balki faisla ka late hona kaha hai un se jinhon ne qasam utha kar aur uzr karliya aur Rasul Allah ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ne qubool karliya un se mamle ko late kiya gaya tha.
