Hey sorry to hear about that, hope everything get sorted for you soon.
You can get all the relevant information on this link https://www.gov.uk/visa-documents-returned
And yes you can request passport back from UKVI but it will consider as your withdrawing you application unfortunately.

I went to the VFS office in Dubai they said the same that you have to cancel the application to get your passport back. But when i explained about my emergency situation the person referred me to their manager and she said that you can request them through us to get the service Keep My Passport without cancelling your application. But she said it is not guaranteed that they will accept your request but if they did than you have to pay AED 250 and you can collect your passport.

And when they will request your passport you have to submit it back.

I went to VFS Dubai office to check update on my passport. And they informed me that your application is already processed and i got my passport with visa today.
