(10) Chapter. Should the Imam suggest reconciliation?
Hadith 2706
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، " أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ مَالٌ ، فَلَقِيَهُ ، فَلَزِمَهُ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا ، فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا كَعْبُ ، فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ ، كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ : النِّصْفَ ، فَأَخَذَ نِصْفَ مَا لَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَتَرَكَ نِصْفًا " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b bin Malik from Ka`b bin Malik: `Abdullah bin Abu Hadrad Al-Aslami owed Ka`b bin Malik some money. One day the latter met the former and demanded his right, and their voices grew very loud. The Prophet passed by them and said, "O Ka`b," beckoning with his hand as if intending to say, "Deduct half the debts." So, Ka`b took half what the other owed him and remitted the other half.
