The Prophet ﷺ passed by him while he was holding onto a man, demanding payment.The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is this?"He replied, "Messenger of Allah, this is a debtor of mine."The Prophet ﷺ gestured with his hand that he should take half.I said, "Yes, Messenger of Allah."So he took half and forgave the other half.
