By Allah, if my Lord takes hold of me, He would torment meas He has not tormented anyone else. They did as he had asked them to do. He (theLord) said to the earth: Return what you have taken. And he was thus restored to his(original form). He (Allah) said to him: What prompted you to do this? He said: MyLord, it was Thine fear or Thine awe, and Allah pardoned him because of this.Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying that awoman was thrown into Hell-Fire because of a cat whom she had tied and did not provideit with food. nor did she set it free to cat insects of the euth until it died inch by inch.Zuhri said: (These two ahidith) show that a person rhould neither feel confident(of getting into Paradise) because of his deeds, nor should he lose (all hopes) of gettinginto Paradise.

The rest of the hadith is the same but there is no mention of the story of the cat in it and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Ziibaidl (the words are): "Allah, the Exalted and Glorious,said to everything which had taken a part of lies ashes to return what it had taken."
Ibn Shihab reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) madean expedition to Tabuk and he (the Holy Prophet) had in his mind (the idea of threatening the) Christians of Arabia in Syria and those of Rome. Ibn Shihab (further)reported that 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Abdullah b. Ka'b informed him that Abdullah b.Ka'b who served as the guide of Ka'b b.'Malik as he became blind that he heard Ka'bb. Malik narrate the story of his remaining behind Allah's Messenger (may peace beupon him) from the Battle of Tabuk. Ka'b b. Malik said: I never remained behindAllah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) from any expedition which he undertookexcept the Battle of Tabuk and that of the Battle of Badr. So far as the Battle ofBadr is concerned, nobody was blamed for remaining behind as Allah's Messenger(may peace be upon him) and the Muslims (did not set out for attack but forwaylaying) the caravan of the Quraish, but it was Allah Who made them confront theirenemies without their intention (to do so). I had the honour to be with Allah's Messenger(may peace be upon him) on the night of 'Aqaba when we pledged our allegiance toIslam and it was more dear to me than my participation in the Battle of Badr,although Badr was more popular amongst people as compared with that (Tabuk). And thisis my story of remaining back from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on theoccasion of the Battle of Tabuk. Never did I possess means enough and (my circumstances) more favourable than at the occasion of this expedition. And, by Allah, I hadnever before this expedition simultaneously in my possession two rides. Allah'sMessenger (may peace be upon him) set out for this expedition in extremely hotseason; the journey was long and the land (which he and his army had to cover) waswaterless and he had to confront a large army, so he informed the Muslims about theactual situation (they had to face), so that they should adequately equip themselvesfor this expedition, and he also told them the destination where he intended togo. And the Muslims who accompanied Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) atthat time were large in numbers but there was no proper record of them. Ka'b (further) said : Few were the persons who wanted to absent themselves, and were underthe impression that they could easily conceal themselves (and thus remain undetected)until revelations from Allah, the Exalted and Glorious (descended in connectionwith them). And Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) set out on an expeditionwhen the fruits were ripe and their shadows had been lengthened. I had weakness forthem and it was during this season that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)made preparations and the Muslims too along with them. I also set out in the morning so that I should make preparations along with them but I came back and didnothing and said to myself : I have means enough (to make preparations) as soon asI like. And I went on doing this (postponing my preparations) until people were aboutto depart and it was in the morning that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)set out and the Muslims too along with him, but I made no preparations. I went earlyin the morning and came back, but I made no decision. I continued to do so untilthey (the Muslims) hastened and covered a good deal of distance. I also made up mymind to march on and to meet them. Would that I had done that but perhaps it was notdestined for me. After the departure of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)as I went out amongst people, I was shocked to find that I did not find anyone likeme but people who were labelled as hypocrites or the people whom Allah grantedexemption because of their incapacity and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)took no notice of me until he had reached Tabuk. (One day as he was sitting amongstthe people in Tabuk) he said : What has happened to Ka'b b. Malik ? A person fromBanu' Salama said : Allah's Messenger, the (beauty) of his cloak and his appreciationof his sides have allured him and he was thus detained. Mua'dh b. Jabal said: Woebe upon that what you contend. Allah's Messenger, by Allah, we know nothing abouthim but good. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), however, kept quiet. Itwas during that time that he (the Holy Prophet) saw a person (dressed in all white(garment) shattering the illusion of eye (mirage). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (maypeace be upon him) said: May he be Abu Khaithama and, lo, it was Abu Khaithamaal-Ansari and he was that person who contributed a sa' of dates and was scoffed atby the hypocrites. Ka'b b. Malik farther said: When this news reached me thatAllah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was on his way back from Tabuk I wasgreatly perturbed. I thought of fabricating false stories and asked myself how I wouldsave myself from his anger on the following day. In this connection, I sought the helpof every prudent man from amongst the members of my family and when it was saidto me that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was about to arrive, all thefalse ideas banished (from my mind) and I came to the conclusion that nothing couldsave me but the telling of truth, so I decided to speak the truth and it was in themorning that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) arrived (in Medina). And itwas his habit that as he came back from a journey he first went to the mosque andobserved two Rak'ahs of nafl prayer (as a mark of gratitude) and then sat amongstpeople. And as he did that, those who had remained behind him began to put forwardtheir excuses and take an oath before him and they were more than eighty persons.Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) accepted their excuses on the very faceof them and accepted their allegiance and sought forgiveness for them and left theirsecret (intentions) to Allah, until I presented myself to him. I greeted him and hesmiled and there was a tinge of anger in that. He (the Holy Prophet) then said to me:Come forward. I went forward until I sat in front of him. He said to me: What keptyou back? Could you not afford to go in for a ride ? I said: Allah's Messenger, byAllah, if I were to sit in the presence of anybody else from amongst the worldlypeople I would have definitely saved myself from his anger on one pretext (or theother) and I have also the knack to fall into argumentation, but, by Allah, I am fullyaware of the fact that if I were to put forward before you a false excuse to please youAllah would definitely provoke your wrath upon me, and if I speak the truth you maybe annoyed with me, but I hope that Allah would make its end well and, by Allah,there is no valid excuse for me. By Allah, I never possessed so good means, and Inever had such favourable conditions for me as I had when I stayed behind you(failed to join the expedition). Thereupon, Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)said : This man told the truth, so get up until Allah gives a decision in your case. Istood up and some people of Banu' Salama followed me in hot haste, and they said tome : By Allah, we do not know about you that you committed a sin prior to this. You,however, showed inability to put forward an excuse before Allah's Messenger (maypeace be upon him) as those who stayed behind him have put forward excuses. Itwould have been enough for the forgiveness of your sin that Allah's Messenger (maypeace be upon him) would have sought forgiveness for you. By Allah, they continuedto incite me until I thought of going back to Allah's Messenger (may peace be uponhim) and contradict myself. Then I said to them : Has anyone else also met the samefate ? They said: Yes, two persons have met the same fate as has fallen to you andthey have made the sane statement as you have made, and the same verdict has beendelivered in their case as it has been delivered in your case. I said: Who are they ? Theysaid: Murara b. ar-Rabi'a 'Amiri and Hilal b. Umayya al-Waqafi. They made a mention ofthese two pious persons to me who had participated in the Battle of Badr and there wasan example for me in them. I went away when they named these two persons. Allah'sMessenger (may peace be upon him) forbade the Nluslims to talk with three of us fromamongst those (persons) who had stayed behind him. The people began to avoid usand their attitude towards us underwent a change and it seemed as if the whole atmosphere had turned (hostile) against us and it was in fact the same atmosphere ot whichI was fully aware and in which I had lived (for a fairly long time). We spent fiftynights in this very state and my two friends confined themselves withen their housesand spent (most of the) time in weeping, but as I was young and strong amongst themI got (out of my house), participated in congregational prayers, moved about in thebazar; but none spoke to me. I came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)as he sat amongst (people) after the prayer, greeted him and asked myself whether hislips stirred in response to my greetings (or not). Then I observed prayer beside himand looked at him with stealing glances and when I attended to my prayer, he lookedat me and when I cast a glance at him he turned away his eyes from me. And whenthe harsh treatment of the Muslims towards me extended to a (considerable) lengthof time, I walked until I climbed upon the wall of the garden of Abu Qatada, and hewas my cousin, and I had the greatest love for him. I greeted him but, by Allah, he didnot respond to my greetings. I said to him: Abu Qatada, I adjure you by Allah, arn'tyou well aware of the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger (may peace be uponhim) the most. He kept quiet. I again repeated saying: I adjure you by Allah. arn'tyou well aware of the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger (may peace be uponhim) the most. He kept quiet. I again adjured him, whereupon he said : Allah and theMessenger (may peace be upon him) are best aware of it. My eyes began to shed tearsand I came back climbing down from the wall and as I was walking in the bazar ofMedina a Nabatean from amongst the Nabateans of Syria, who had come to sell foodgrains in Medina, asked people to direct him to Ka'b b. Malik. People gave him theindication by pointing towards me. He came to me and delivered to me a letter of theKing of Ghassan and as I was a scribe I read that letter and it was written like this:"Coming to my point, it has been conveyed to us that your friend (the Holy Prophet)is subjecting you to cruelty and Allah has not created you for a place where you areto be degraded and where you cannot find your right place, so you come to us that weshould accord you honour. As I read that letter I said: This is also a calamity, so Iburnt it in the oven. When out of the fifty days, forty days had passed and A11ah'Messenger (may peace be upon him) received no revelation, there came the messengerof Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to me and said: Verily, Allah'sMessenger (may peace be upon him) has commanded you to remain separate fromyour wife. I said: Should I divorce her or what (else) should I do? He said:No, but only remain separate from her and don't have sexual contact with her. Thesame message was sent to my companions. So I said to my wife: You better go toyour parents and stay there with them until Allah gives the decision in my case. Thewife of Hilal b. Umayya came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) andsaid: Allah's Messenger, Hilal b. Umayya is a senile person, he has no servant. Doyou disapprove of my serving him? He said: No, but don't go near him. She said:By Allah, he has no such instinct in him. By Allah, he spends his time in weepingfrom that day to this day. Some of the members of my family said to me: Were youto seek permission from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) in regard to yourwife as he has granted permission to the wife of Hilal b. Umayya to serve him. Isaid: I would not seek permission from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him),for I cannot say what Allah's Apostle may say in response to seeking my permission.Moreover, I am a young man. It was in this state that I spent ten more nights andthus fifty nights had passed that (people) had observed boycott with us. It was on themorning of the fiftieth night that I observed my dawn prayer and was sitting on oneof the roofs of our houses. And I was in fact sitting in that very state which Allah,the Exalted and Glorious, has described about us in these words: "Life had becomehard for myself and the earth had compressed despite its vastness," that I heard thenoise of an announcer from the peak of the hill of Sal' saying at the top of hisvoice: Ka'b b. Malik, there is glad tidings for you. I fell down in prostration and cameto realise that there was (a message of) relief for me. Allah's Messenger (may peace beupon him) had informed the people of the acceptance of our repentance by Allah as heoffered the dawn prayer. So the people went on to give us glad tidings and some ofthem went to my friends in order to give them the glad tidings and a person galloped hishorse and came from the tribe of Aslam and his horse reached me more quickly thanhis voice. And when he came to me whose sound I heard, he gave me the glad tidings. Itook off my clothes and clothed him with them because of his bringing good news tome and, by Allah, I possessed nothing else (in the form of clothes) than these two onthat occasion, and I asked one to lend me two clothes and dressed myself in them.I came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and on my way I met groups ofpeople who greeted me because of (the acceptance of) repentance and they said: Hereis a greeting for you for your repentance being accepted by Allah. (I movedon) until I came to the mosque and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) hadbeen sitting there amongst persons. So Talha b. 'Ubaidullah got up and rushed towardsme and he shook hands with me and greeted me and, by Allah, no person stood up (togreet me) from amongst the emigrants except he. Ka'b said that he never forgot (thisgood gesture of) Talha. Ka'b further said : I greeted Allah's Messenger (may peace beupon him) with Assalam-o-'Alaikam and his face was glistening because of delight, andhe said : Let there be glad tidings and blessings for you, the like of which (you haveneither found nor you will find, as you find today) since your mother gave your birth.I said: Allah's Messenger. is this acceptance of repentance from you or from Allah? Hesaid: No, (it is not from ma), it is from Allah, and it was common with Allah'sMessenger (may peace be upon him) that as he was happy his face brightened up andit looked like a part of the moon and it was from this that we recognised it (hisdelight). As I sat before him, I said: Allah's Messenger, am I allowed to give incharity my wealth for Allah's sake and for the sake of His Messenger (may peace beupon him)? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Keep someproperty with you as it is better for you. I said: I shall keep with me that part (of myproperty) which fell to my lot (on the occasion of the expedition of) Khaibar. I said:Allah's Messenger, verily, Allah has granted me salvation because of truth and, therefore, (I think) that repentance implies that I should not speak anything but truth aslong as I live. He said: By Allah, I do not know whether anyone amongst the Muslimswas put to more severe trial than I by Allah because of telling the truth. And since Imade a mention of this to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) up to this dayI have not told any lie and, by Allah, I have decided not to tell a lie and I hope thatAllah would save me (from trials) for the rest of my life and Allah, the Exalted andGlorious, revealed these verses: "Certainly, Allah has turned in Mercy to the Prophetand the emigrants and the helpers who followed him in the hour of hardship after thehearts of a part of them were about to deviate; then He turned to them in mercy.Surely, to them He is Compassionate, Merciful and (He turned in Mercy) tothe three who were left behind until the earth despite its vastness became strait forthem and their souls were also straitened to them." And this revelation reached up tothe (words): "O you who believe, develop God consciousness, and be with the truthful"(ix. 117-118). Ka'b said: By Allah, since Allah directed me to Islam there has been noblessing more significant for me than this truth of mine which I spoke to Allah'sMessenger (may peace be upon him) and if I were to tell a lie I would have been ruined as were ruined those who told lies, for in regard to those who told lies Allah usedharshest words used for anyone as He descended revelation (and the words of Allahare): "They will swear by Allah to you when you return to them so that you mayleave them alone. So leave them alone. Surely, they are unclean and their resort isHell, recompense for what they earned. They will swear to you that you may be pleased with them but if you are pleased with them, yet surely Allah is not pleased withthe transgressing people" (ix. 95-96). K'ab said that the matter of us three personswas deferred as compared with those who took an oath in the presence of AllahsMessenger (may peace be upon him) and he accepted their allegiance and soughtforgiveness for them and Allah did not give any decision in regard to us. It was Allah,the Exalted and Glorious, Who gave decisions in our case, three who remained behind.(The words of the Qur'an) "the three who were left behind" do not mean that weremained back from Jihad but these imply that He kept our matter behind them whotook oath and presented excuse before Him. This hadith has been narrated on theauthority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters. 2ff7e9595c
