Hadith text

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 (ﷺ) 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

Abdullah bin Ka'b bin Malik, Ka'b bin Malik ke hawale se: Abdullah bin Abu Hadrad Al-Aslami par Ka'b bin Malik ka kuch paisa qarz tha. Ek din unki mulaqaat hui aur unhone apna haqq maanga, aur unki awazein bahut zyada oonchi ho gayi. Nabi unke paas se guzre aur kaha: "Aye Ka'b," apne haath se ishara karte huye jaise keh rahe hon, "Aadha qarz kam kar do." Isliye Ka'b ne aadha liya jo doosre par qarz tha aur baaki aadha maaf kar diya.
