Abdul Hameed Bin Abdillaah Ibn Muslim Ibn Yasaar (rahimahullaah) said: When Ibn Seereen (rahimahullaah) was confined in prison, the prisoners said to him: Go to your family when night falls and come back when morning arrives.  So Ibn Seereen said: By Allaah, no.  I will not help you in deceiving the ruler.
