471. Narrated Ka'b bin Mālik رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: During the life-time of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ I asked Ibn Abī Ḥadrā in the mosque to pay the debts which he owed to me, and our voices grew so loud that Allāh's Messenger 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 Ka'b bin Mālik!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allāh's Messenger." He gestured with his hand to me to reduce the debt to half. I said, "O Allāh's Messenger, I have done it." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said (to Ibn Ḥadrā), "Get up and pay it."
