Sahih al-Bukhari 2710 (Book 53, Hadith 20) #2592
Intervening in Disputes

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) intervened in a dispute between Ka'b bin Malik and Ibn Abu Hadrad, suggesting that the debt be reduced by half.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Ka'b: That Ka'b bin Malik told him that in the lifetime of Allah's Messenger he demanded his debt from Ibn Abu Hadrad in the Mosque. Their voices grew louder till Allah's Messenger 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, "Labaik! O Allah's Messenger !" He beckoned to him with his hand suggesting that he deduct half the debt. Ka'b said, "I agree, O Allah's Messenger !" Allah's Messenger then said (to Ibn Abu Hadrad), "Get up and pay him the rest".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ،‏.‏ وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَهْوَ فِي بَيْتٍ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِمَا حَتَّى كَشَفَ سِجْفَ حُجْرَتِهِ، فَنَادَى كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا كَعْبُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ ضَعِ الشَّطْرَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ قُمْ فَاقْضِهِ
