Volume 1, Book 8, Number 447:
Narrated Ka'b:
In the mosque l asked Ibn Abi Hadrad to pay the debts which he owed to me and our voices grew
louder. Allah's Apostle heard that while he was in his house. So he came to us raising the curtain of
his room and said, "O Ka'b!" I replied, "Labaik, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "O Ka'b! reduce your debt
to one half," gesturing with his hand. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have done so." Then Allah's Apostle
said (to Ibn Abi Hadrad), "Get up and pay the debt to him."
