More than eighty men came with excuses after Tabuk, and their excuses were accepted. But three Companions chose to tell the truth — and that honesty led them into fifty nights without a greeting, until the vast earth closed in on them. The twenty-fifth book of The Prophet’s Sirah tells of Ka‘b ibn Malik and Masjid ad-Dirar.
“O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with those who are true.”
