Abd al-Rahman bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The debt of Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), who was one of his people, Banu Salimah, grew very large in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) did nothing more than distribute the property of Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) among the creditors.
