Summary

A clan from whom Ibn Ishaq names Ka'b ibn Malik; in his account a man of them disparaged Ka'b before the Prophet at Tabuk, and men of them blamed him after his truthfulness. 1

In this batch

A man "of Banu Salama" said to the Prophet at Tabuk that Ka'b had been held back by his two striped cloaks (the event). 2 Then men of Banu Salama rose with Ka'b after the Prophet's answer, blaming him for not having made an excuse (the event). 1

Source notes and markers of doubt
