Narrated Ka'b bin Mâlik. In the mosque I asked Ibn Ḥadrad to pay the debts which he owed to me and our voices grew louder. Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) heard that while he was in his house. So he came to us raising the curtain of his room and said, "O Ka'b ! " I replied, Labbaik, O ' Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! He said, O Ka‘b ! Reduce your debt (to one half gesturing with his hand.) I said, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have done so." Then Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to Ibn Abi Hadrad), Get up and pay the debt to him." [1:447-O.B.]
