Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith #55408

Uthman bin Umar told us, Yunus told us, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, on the authority of Abdullah bin Ka’b, on the authority of his father, that he received compensation from Ibn Abi Hadrad. A debt he owed in the mosque, and their voices rose until the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, heard them while he was in his house, so he left. To them, he called: “O Ka’b.” He said: At your service, O Messenger of God. He said: “Put down part of your debt,” and he gestured to him, meaning half. He said: I did. He said: “Get up and pay it off.”
