It is narrated from a Thaqafi companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that we requested three things from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not grant us concession. We said to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that our region is very cold, so grant us permission not to perform ablution before prayer, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not allow this. Then we asked for permission to use a gourd vessel, but at that time, he did not permit that either. Then we requested that Abu Bakrah be handed over to us, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) refused and said, "He is freed by Allah and His Messenger." In fact, when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laid siege to Ta’if, Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) escaped from there and accepted Islam.
