Tawba (repentance)

In Ka'b's account at Ibn Ishaq, "God's repentance" upon the three is declared after the boycott; Ka'b counts as part of his repentance matters touching his wealth and the truthfulness of his speech. ¹

The Prophet declared God's repentance upon them after the dawn prayer, and the people congratulated him on it: "Rejoice in God's repentance upon you" (the event). ²

Ka'b said part of his repentance was to strip off his wealth as alms — the Prophet ordered him to keep some of it — and part of it was to speak only truth as long as he lived (the event). ²
