It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived at the people of Ta’if, he had a caller announce: “Whoever among the slaves comes down from the fortress to us will be considered free.” So Nafi’ and Nafī’ came down, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set both of them free. Imam Muzani (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Imam Shafi’i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Yunus bin Khalid Asmati (may Allah have mercy on him) is a pious man, but his hadith are weak.
