2429. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin Ka'b bin Mālik from his father that he demanded payment owed by Ibn Abi Hadrad in the mosque. Their voices became so loud that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ heard them when he was in his house. He came out and called Ka'b who said: "Here I am, O Messenger of Allāh!" He said: "Waive this much of your loan," and gestured with his hand to indicate half. He said: "I will do that," and he said: "Get up and repay it." (Sahih)
2429 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا، حَتَّى سَمِعَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمَا فَنَادَى كَعْبًا، فَقَالَ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «دَعْ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ هَذَا» ، وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الشَّطْرِ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ فَعَلْتُ، قَالَ: «قُمْ فَاقْضِهِ»

A lender can press the debtor to repay his loan. If the claimant waives a part of the loan, it is a matter of great reward from Allāh ﷺ.
