Hadith text

Narrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b:Who was Ka`b's guide when Ka`b turned blind: I heard Ka`b bin Malik narrating: When he remained behind (i.e. did not Join) the Prophet (ﷺ) in the Ghazwa of Tabuk. Ibn Bukair, in his narration stated that Ka`b said, " I witnessed the Al-`Aqaba pledge of allegiance at night with the Prophet (ﷺ) when we jointly agreed to support Islam with all our efforts I would not like to have attended the Badr battle instead of that 'Aqaba pledge although Badr is more well-known than it, amongst the people

Abdullah bin Ka'b bataate hain (jo Ka'b ke andhe hone par unke rahnumaa the): Maine Ka'b bin Malik ko yeh riwaayat karte suna jab woh Tabuk ke Ghazwe mein Nabi ke saath shaamil nahi hue the. (Ibn Bukair, apni riwaayat mein, ne kaha ke Ka'b ne kaha,) "Maine raat ko Al-Aqaba ki bai'at mein Nabi ke saath maujoodgi di jab humne saamuhik roop se poori taakat se Islam ka saath dene ka waada kiya. Mujhe Al-Aqaba ki bai'at ki jagah Badr ki jung mein shaamil hona pasand na hota, chahe Badr logon mein isse zyada mashhur hai."
