Hadith text

Narrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b:That Ka`b bin Malik told him that in the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he demanded his debt from Ibn Abu Hadrad in the Mosque. Their voices grew louder till Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) heard them while he was in his house. So he lifted the curtain of his room and called Ka`b bin Malik saying, "O Ka`b!" He replied, "Labbaik! O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He beckoned to him with his hand suggesting that he deduct half the debt. Ka`b said, "I agree, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said (to Ibn Abu Hadrad), "Get up and pay him the rest

Abdullah bin Ka'b bataate hain: Ka'b bin Malik ne unhe bataya ke Allah ke Rasool ke zamane mein unhone Ibn Abu Hadrad se masjid mein apna qarz maanga. Unki awazein itni oonchi ho gayi ke Allah ke Rasool ne unhe apne ghar se suna. Isliye unhone apne kamre ka parda uthaya aur Ka'b bin Malik ko bulaya, "Aye Ka'b!" Unhone jawab diya: "Labbaik! Aye Allah ke Rasool!" Unhone apne haath se ishara kiya jaise keh rahe hon ke aadha qarz kam kar do. Ka'b ne kaha: "Main raazi hoon, Aye Allah ke Rasool!" Allah ke Rasool ne phir (Ibn Abu Hadrad se) kaha: "Utho aur unhe baaki ada karo."
