It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Ka'b, from his father, that :
He asked Ibn Abi Hadrad to pay off a debt that he owed him. Their voices grew so loud that the Messenger of Allah [SAW] heard them when he was inside his house. He came out to them, drew back the curtain of his room and called out: O Ka'b! He said: Here I am, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Drop his debt to half. He said: I will do that. He said (to the debtor): Go and pay it off.
