It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uwaymir bin Ashqar that he once slaughtered the sacrificial animal before the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ).

Khubayb bin Abdur Rahman’s grandfather says that once I and a man from my tribe went to the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him) at a time when the Prophet (peace be upon him) was preparing for a battle. We had not accepted Islam until then. We said to the Prophet (peace be upon him): It is a matter of shame for us that our tribe is going for a battle and we do not participate with them, so we will also go with you. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Have both of you accepted Islam? We said: No. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: We do not want to take help from polytheists against polytheists. Upon this, we accepted Islam and participated with the Prophet (peace be upon him). In that battle, I killed a man and he struck me a blow. Later, I married the daughter of that slain man, and she used to say: You will never forget the man who gave you this wound. And I used to say to her: You too will never forget the man who quickly showed your father the way to Hell.

There was a slave girl of Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) who used to graze his goats at the place of Sala'. Once, a wolf took away one of the goats. The slave girl chased after it, caught it, and slaughtered it with a sharp-edged stone. Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about the ruling concerning that goat. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) permitted them to eat it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was demanding two uqiyah of silver from a person when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gestured to me and said, "Forgive half of his debt." I said, "Very well, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) then said to the other person, "Now pay the remaining due right."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he had a black slave girl who slaughtered a goat with a striped stone.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of a believer is like that of the grains of a crop which the wind blows; sometimes it makes them level and sometimes it throws them to another place, until their appointed time comes. And the example of a disbeliever is like that of rice which stands firm on its root; nothing can shake it until it is taken down all at once.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Allah accepted his repentance, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Allah has saved me only through the blessing of truthfulness, and now as part of my repentance, I will never lie again. I dedicate all my wealth for Allah and His Messenger. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It would be better if you keep some of it for yourself. He said: Then I will keep my share from Khaybar for myself.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that, in terms of riding and expenses, I was never as well-off in any expedition as I was in this one. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) set out, I thought that I would prepare my travel provisions the next day and join the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). So I started preparing, but evening came and I could not finish. The same happened on the third day. I said to myself, "Alas! People have already covered three days' journey." Thinking this, I stayed behind. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) returned, people began to present various excuses. I too presented myself in the court of Prophethood and stood before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "I never had more ease in terms of riding and expenses in any expedition than in this one." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) turned away from me and forbade people from talking to us. He also ordered regarding our wives that they should stay away from us. One day, I climbed the wall of my house and saw Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him). I said to Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), I ask you by Allah, do you know if I have ever deceived Allah and His Messenger on any day?" But he remained silent and did not speak to me. One day, while I was in this state, I heard someone calling my name from the top of a hill until he came near me and said, "Glad tidings for Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him)!"
