2424. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin Ka'b bin Mālik Al-Anṣārī on the authority of Ka'b bin Mālik رضي الله عنه that 'Abdullāh bin Abī Ḥadrād Al-Aslamī owed him some debt. Ka'b met him and caught hold of him and they started talking and their voices grew louder. The Prophet ﷺ passed by them and addressed Ka'b, pointing out to him to reduce the debt to half. So, Ka'b got half of the debt and exempted the debtor from the other half.
2424 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ - وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ - قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ الأَسْلَمِيِّ دَيْنٌ، فَلَقِيَهُ، فَلَزِمَهُ فَتَكَلَّمَا حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا، فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «يَا كَعْبُ» وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ، كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: النِّصْفَ، فَأَخَذَ نِصْفَ مَا عَلَيْهِ وَتَرَكَ نِصْفًا
