Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was preparing to send an expedition towards the place where nowadays is the market of Nakhasin. During this, Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Abbas! Who is your Prophet’s uncle, is the most generous among the Quraysh and the one who maintains the ties of kinship the most.”
