وَعَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى كَشَفَ سِجْفَ حُجْرَتِهِ وَنَادَى كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «يَا كَعْبُ» قَالَ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ ضَعِ الشَّطْرَ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ قَالَ كَعْبٌ: قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «قُمْ فاقضه»

Ka‘b ibn Malik reported that he demanded repayment of a debt owed to him by Ibn Abi Hadrad in the time of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace), in the mosque. Their voices grew loud until the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace), who was in his house, heard them. He came out to them and lifted the curtain of his room. He called to Ka‘b ibn Malik: ‘Ka‘b!’ He replied: ‘At your service, Messenger of Allah.’ The Prophet gestured with his hand: ‘Waive half of your debt.’ Ka‘b said: ‘I have done so, Messenger of Allah.’ The Prophet said: ‘Get up and repay him.’ It is agreed upon. Its listed grading is agreed upon (al-Albani).
