It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a person who owed another two awqiyah. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand to the person and said: "Reduce one part from it." The person said, "Alright, O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)!" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the other and said: "Pay him what remains of his due."
