Ka'b ibn Malik was a renowned poet of the Ansar and one of the three companions who stayed behind from the Tabuk expedition without valid excuse. He endured fifty days of social boycott imposed by the Prophet, during which his sincerity and remorse were tested to the core, until God revealed Quran verses accepting his repentance. His story became an immortal lesson on the power of true repentance and unwavering truthfulness before God.
