Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Abdullah bin Abi Hadrad al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) owed me some money. I met him and held on to him, and we began to argue with each other until our voices rose. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by us and said: "O Ka'b!" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand, as if he (peace and blessings be upon him) were saying: Take half the debt. So I took half the debt and left half.
