Hadith 27173

حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجٌ , وَأَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ , أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ مُلَازِمٌ رَجُلًا ، فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذَا ؟ " , قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، غَرِيمٌ لِي ، وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ النِّصْفَ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذَ الشَّطْرَ وَتَرَكَ الشَّطْرَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Abdullah bin Abi Hadrad (may Allah be pleased with him) owed him some debt. Once, they met on the road and Hazrat Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) caught hold of him. During their 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 half of his debt." So he forgave half and took the remaining half of the money.
