✧ Ka'b: I was never in a military expedition in which I had more ease in mounts and provisions than in that expedition. When the Messenger of God ﷺ set out, I said, 'I will prepare tomorrow and then catch up with him.' I began my preparations, but evening came and I had not finished. Then I said, 'I will work hard on my preparations tomorrow, and the people are still near—I will catch up with them.' Evening came and I had not finished. When the third day came, I began my preparations, evening came and I had not finished. I said, 'How far! The people have traveled for three days.' So I stayed behind. When the Messenger of God ﷺ returned, people began making excuses to him. I came and stood before him and said, 'I was never in an expedition in which I had more ease in mounts and provisions than in this one.' The Messenger of God ﷺ turned away from me and commanded the people not to speak to us, and commanded our women to stay away from us. One day I climbed over a wall and found Jabir b. Abdullah there. I said, 'O Jabir, I adjure you by God: do you know that I ever betrayed God and His Messenger even for a single day?' He remained silent and would not speak to me. Then one day, while I was in that state, I heard a man on the hill path calling, 'Ka'b! Ka'b!' He approached me and said, 'Give good news to Ka'b.'
