Sayyiduna Ka'bul Ahbar was a great tabi'ee saint but before accepting Islam he was a renowned Jewish scholar.
His blessed tomb is situated in the United Arab Emirates in 'Al A'in' which is the capital of Abu Dhabi.
Alhamdu-Lillah I have been blessed with the privilege to visit his blessed tomb several times.
Sayyiduna Ka'bul Ahbar narrates the following story,
'A man from Bani Israeel, despite having repented previously, committed adultery and then went into a river to wash himself. When he was inside the water he heard the river call out, 'Are you not ashamed of yourself? Did you not repent and say you would never do this again?'
When the man heard the voice he began to tremble with fear and ran away from the river and as he ran he was saying to himself, 'From this day on I will never disobey Allah ' He kept on running in a state of tears (out of shame), until he reached a mountain where he saw twelve pious men engaged in worshiping Allah and decided to join them in their devotional practices.
After some time the men faced a famine and so they decided to set out towards the city in search for food. As they walked they approached the same river. The same man began to tremble with fear and said, 'I cannot walk towards that river, there is someone there who is aware of my sins, I feel ashamed to confront him again'.
He stopped, but the twelve men proceeded towards the river, as they approached it they heard the water call out, 'Oh righteous people! Where is your companion?' They replied, 'He says there is someone here who knows his sins and that he feels ashamed to confront him'. The river spoke again, 'Subhan Allah ! If someone dear to you injures you but then regrets his action and asks you to forgive him and abandons his evil habit, will you not reconcile with him? Your companion has repented and engaged him self in acts of piety, therefore he has reconciled with his Lord .
