It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Ka'b bin Malik from his father that he demanded payment owed by Ibn Abi Hadrad in the Masjid. Their voices became so loud that the Messenger of Allah heard them when he was in his house. He came out and called Ka'b who said: "Here I am, Messenger of AllahP.B.U.H" He said: "Waive this much of your loan," and gestured with his hand to indicate half. He said: "I will do that," and he said: "Get up and repay it.”
