During the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ I asked Ibn Abi Hadrad in the mosque to pay the debts which he owed to me and our voices grew so loud that Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard them while he was in his house. So he came to us after raising the curtain of his room. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Kaʿb bin Malik!" I replied, "Labaik, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He gestured with his hand to me to reduce the debt to one half. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ have done it." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to Ibn Hadrad), "Get up and pay it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 471)
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»
