\nNarrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b:\n \n\nI heard Ka`b bin Malik talking about the story of the battle of Tabuk when he remained behind, "By \nAllah, I do not know anyone whom Allah has helped for telling the truth more than me since I \nmentioned that truth to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) till today, I have never intended to tell a lie. And Allah \nrevealed to His Apostle: "Verily! Allah has forgiven the Prophet, the Muhajirin............ and be with \nthose who are true (in words and deeds)." (9.117-119) (See Hadith No. 702 Vol 5).\n
