\nNarrated Ka`b:\n \n\nIn the mosque l asked Ibn Abi Hadrad to pay the debts which he owed to me and our voices grew \nlouder. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) heard that while he was in his house. So he came to us raising the curtain of \nhis room and said, "O Ka`b!" I replied, "Labaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "O Ka`b! reduce your \ndebt to one half," gesturing with his hand. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have done so." Then Allah's \nApostle said (to Ibn Abi Hadrad), "Get up and pay the debt to him."\n
