[3984] 20 - (1558) 'Abdullâh bin Ka'b bin Mâlik narrated from his father that he asked Ibn Abî Hadrad to pay a debt that he owed him at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, in the Masjid. Their voices became so loud that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ could hear them in his house. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came out to them and lifted the curtain of his apartment, and he called Ka'b bin Mâlik, saying: "O Ka'b!" Ka'b said: "Here I am, O Messenger of Allâh." He gestured with his hand, saying waive half of your debt. Ka'b said: "I have done that, O Messenger of Allâh." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Get up and pay off the rest."

Arabic text

20 - (1558) حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى كَشَفَ سِجْفَ حُجْرَتِهِ، وَنَادَى كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، فَقَالَ: «يَا كَعْبُ»، فَقَالَ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، «فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ ضَعِ الشَّطْرَ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ»، قَالَ كَعْبٌ: قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قُمْ فَاقْضِهِ»،
