Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Some Ansar sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Allow us to forgo the ransom of our nephew Abbas. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, by Allah! You will not forgo even a single dirham.
