Hadith of Ka'b ibn Malik al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 15791 — Hadith of Ka'b ibn Malik al-Ansari
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ ، فَلَقِيَهُ فَلَزِمَهُ ، حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ الْأَصْوَاتُ ، فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا كَعْبُ " , فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ : النِّصْفُ , فَأَخَذَ نِصْفًا مِمَّا عَلَيْهِ ، وَتَرَكَ النِّصْفَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Hadrad owed him some debt. Once, they met on the road and Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) caught hold of him. Due to mutual argument, their voices were raised. Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gestured to me and said, "Forgive him half of his debt." So he forgave half and took the remaining half of the money.
