٢٢۔٢١ باب النَّهْىِ عَنِ النَّذْرِ

abudawud:3287[Chain 1] ʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah > Jarīr b. ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd [Chain 2] Musaddad > Abū ʿAwānah > Manṣūr > ʿAbdullāh b. Murrah > ʿUthmān al-Hamdānī > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade to make a vow. He said: It has not effect against fate, it is only from the miserly that it is means by which something is extracted. Musaddad said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: A vow does not avert anything (i.e. has no effect against fate).  

أبو داود:٣٢٨٧حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنِ النَّذْرِ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا وَيَقُولُ لاَ يَرُدُّ شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا يُسْتَخْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّذْرُ لاَ يَرُدُّ شَيْئًا  

abudawud:3288Abū Dāwud > Quriʾ > al-Ḥārith b. Miskīn > Shāhid Akhbarakum Ibn Wahb > Mālik > Abū al-Zinād > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Hurmuz > Abū Hurayrah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: A vow does not provide for the son of Adam anything which I did not decree for him, but a vow draws it. A Divine decree is one which I have destined, it is extracted from a miser. He is given what he was not given before.  

أبو داود:٣٢٨٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ قُرِئَ عَلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ أَخْبَرَكُمُ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَأْتِي ابْنَ آدَمَ النَّذْرُ الْقَدَرَ بِشَىْءٍ لَمْ أَكُنْ قَدَّرْتُهُ لَهُ وَلَكِنْ يُلْقِيهِ النَّذْرُ الْقَدَرَ قَدَّرْتُهُ يُسْتَخْرَجُ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ يُؤْتَى عَلَيْهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤْتَى مِنْ قَبْلُ
