It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Haydah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: O Messenger of Allah! We are a people who ask from one another (is this permissible?). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man asks among the people in order to reconcile between them in a calamity or a conflict, but when he reaches his objective or comes close to it, he refrains.
