الطبراني:١٦٢٣٩حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدَ دَيْنًا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَيْهِمَا حَتَّى كَشَفَ سُحُفَ حُجْرَتِهِ فَنَادَى كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ «يَا كَعْبُ» قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ ضَعِ الشَّطْرَ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قُمْ فَاقْضِهِ»  

bayhaqi:11345[Chain 1] Abū ʿAbdullāh Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > al-Ḥasan b. Mukram [Chain 2] And ʾNbʾ Abū ʿAmr ʿUthmān b. Aḥmad b. ʿAbdullāh al-Daqqāq> al-Ḥasan b. Mukram al-Bazzāz > ʿUthmān b. ʿUmar > Yūnus > al-Zuhrī > ʿAbdullāh b. Kaʿb b. Mālik from his father

[Machine] He demanded a debt from Ibn Abi Hadrad, which he owed to him in the mosque. Their voices became loud enough for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to hear them. So he came out until he uncovered the curtain of his room and said, "O Ka'b, forgive some of your debt." He pointed towards it, which part, he said, "Yes." So he judged it.  

البيهقي:١١٣٤٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ ح قَالَ وَأنبأ أَبُو عَمْرٍو عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الدَّقَّاقُ بِبَغْدَادَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْبَزَّازُ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ثنا يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى كَشَفَ سِتْرَ حُجْرَتِهِ فَقَالَ يَا كَعْبُ ضَعْ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ هَذَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَيِ الشَّطْرَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَضَاهُ  

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُسْنَدِيِّ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَرَ
bayhaqi:11346Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ And ʾAbū Zakariyyā Yaḥyá b. Abū Isḥāq al-Muzakkī Waʾabū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥasan al-Qāḍī > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > Baḥr b. Naṣr > Ibn Wahb > Yūnus b. Yazīd > Ibn Shihāb > ʿAbdullāh b. Kaʿb b. Mālik > Kaʿb b. Mālik

"Ka'b!" He said: "At your service, Messenger of Allah." Thereupon he made a gesture with is hand indicating: Remit half the debt due to you. Ka'b said: "I shall do so, Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then said: "Get up and discharge" (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3595)

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ هُوَ ابْنُ صَالِحٍ وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ حَرْمَلَةَ كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ
