Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا زَمْعَةُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ مُلَازِمٌ رَجُلًا فِي أُوقِيَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلرَّجُلِ هَكَذَا أَيْ ضَعْ عَنْهُ الشَّطْرَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلرَّجُلِ أَدِّ إِلَيْهِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ حَقِّهِ.
English Translation
Waki' told us: Zam'ah told us, from al-Zuhri, from Ibn Ka'b ibn Malik, from his father, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed by him while he was pressing a man for repayment of two ounces [of silver he owed], and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gestured to the man like this - meaning, put down half of it for him. The man said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: "Pay him what remains of his due."
