Hadith 1227:8
Surayj and Abu Ja'far al-Mada'ini narrated to us, they said: 'Abbad narrated to us, from Sufyan ibn Husayn, from al-Zuhri, from 'Abdullah ibn Ka'b ibn Malik, from his father, that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, passed by him while he was holding onto a man. He said: "What is this?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, a debtor of mine." And he gestured with his hand for him to take half. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, yes." He said: "So he took half and left half."
حدثنا سريج، وأبو جعفر المدائني، قالا: حدثنا عباد، عن سفيان بن حسين، عن الزهري، عن عبد الله بن كعب بن مالك، عن أبيه، أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مر به وهو ملازم رجلا فقال: " ما هذا؟ "، قال: يا رسول الله، غريم لي وأشار بيده أن يأخذ النصف، قلت: يا رسول الله، نعم، قال: فأخذ الشطر وترك الشطر
