عن كعب: أنه تقاضى ابن أبي حدرد دينا كان له عليه في المسجد، فارتفعت أصواتهما حتى سمعها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو في بيته، فخرج إليهما، حتى كشف سجف حجرته، فنادى: (يا كعب). قال: (لبيك يا رسول الله، قال: (ضع من دينك هذا). وأومأ إليه: أي الشطر، قال: لقد فعلت يا رسول الله، قال: (قم فاقضه).
Ka`b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: In the mosque l asked Ibn Abu Hadrad to pay the debts which he owed to me and our voices grew louder. Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) 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: “Labbayk, O Allah’s Messenger!” He said, “O Ka`b! Reduce your debt to one half,” gesturing with his hand. I said, “O Allah’s Messenger! I have done so.” Then Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said (to Ibn Abu Hadrad), “Get up and pay the debt to him.”
