Abdullah bin Ka'ab bin Malik reported from his father that he pressed in the mosque Ibn Abu Hadrad for the payment of the debt that he owed to him during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . (In this altercation) their voices became loud, until Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) heard them, while he was in the house, so Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came out towards them, and he lifted the curtain of his apartment and he called upon Ka'b bin Malik and said: O Ka'b. He said: At thy beck and call, Allah's Messenger. He pointed out with the help of his hand to remit half of the loan due to him. Ka'b said: Allah's Messenger, I am ready to do that, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said (to Ibn Abu Hadrad): Stand up and make him the payment (of the rest).

The above hadith is narrated through another chain with a slight variation of words at the begining and the rest is of the hadith is the same.

Ka'b bin Malik reported that he made a demand for the payment of the debt that Ibn Abu Hadrad owed to him. This hadith is narrated through another chain of transmitters and (the words are):" He had to get the loan from'Abdullah bin Hadrad al-Aslami. He met him and pressed him for payment. There was an altercation between them, until their voices became loud. There happened to pass by them Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he said: O Ka'b, and pointed out with his hand in such a way as he meant half. So he got half of what he (Ibn Abu Hadrad) owed to him and remitted the half."
