Welcome, welcome! So you want to hear my story.
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Ka'ab, the son of Malik. I was a companion of our beloved Prophet, Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him. Believe me, it was the greatest time in the whole of history to be alive. Islam had started to spread and lit the world, and the world would never be the same again.
Now, I am old and blind, but in my youth you should have seen me. Al Hamdulillah, I was strong and took part in every battle, that is except for Badr and Tabuk. It wasn't until after Badr that it became obligatory for all Muslim men to rise up and fight in support of Allah and His Prophet, praise and peace be upon him.
I was one of those who pledged their oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, on that special night many years ago at Aqabah. Oh, that night, I remember it well. I wouldn't exchange that night for Badr with all its fame!
As for the Battle of Tabuk -- it still weighs heavily upon my heart. At that time Allah had blessed me to be strong and wealthier than I had ever been. I owned some land and for the first time in my life I owned two riding camels that gave me great pleasure.
One day, a rumor reached us that the Romans were planning to attack Medina. We heard that their soldiers had already been given a year's pay in advance, which told us that they expected a long drawn out battle was ahead of them. It was not a rumor to be taken lightly.
Let me tell you a little about the Prophet's strategy before embarking upon a campaign. You see, it was usual for him not to disclose the true objective of a mission right up until the last moment just in case his plans fell into the wrong hands. In fact, he would often indicate the opposite direction to foil our enemies but this time he told us.
"Why", do you ask, well there was a very long journey ahead of us across the scorching desert sands of summer with its blinding brightness all the way from Medina to Tabuk. With this in mind the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, ordered us to prepare camels, horses, and ourselves well. Not only was the journey going to be hard, but the enemy was expected to be strong and great in number and they also had the advantage of being well rested.
As I mentioned before, those were the early years of Islam. It was not until later on that someone had the idea to compile a register of all those who took part in the battles. So, as you can see, before the registers it was easy for any one who was reluctant to go and hide themselves in the shade of the orchard's lush foliage, knowing well that their presence would go unnoticed unless Allah disclosed it!
Each morning I would go out intending to make the necessary preparations only to return at night having accomplished nothing at all, telling myself, "There is plenty of time. I can get ready whenever I wish."
Time passed quickly. The preparations were finalized and Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, gave the order to set off for Tabuk. There I was, unprepared in my indecisive state as the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and his other Companions rode off into the distance.
I kept telling myself that I would set off by myself and catch up with them -- but I didn't. Oh, how I deeply regret not having done so!
I wasn't missed until they reached Tabuk. The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, was sitting with a group of his Companions when he asked where I was.
A tribesman from the Banu Salimah commented that I had not accompanied them because of the love of my wealth. However, Mu’az, the son of Jabal immediately jumped to my defense and told him that he knew only good things about me and accused the tribesman of speaking evil about me. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, heard all this but made no comment.
