[Machine] A Muslim woman was captured by the enemy, who had previously harmed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by killing his camel. When she noticed a moment of inattention from the people, she rode the Prophet's ﷺ camel and planned to sacrifice it. However, she was prevented from doing so. When the incident was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said, "How poorly you have treated her!" Then he said, "There is no vow for the son of Adam in what he does not possess or in disobedience to Allah."  

أحمد:١٩٨٥٦حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَسَرَهَا الْعَدُوُّ وَقَدْ كَانُوا أَصَابُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ نَاقَةً لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَرَأَتْ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ غَفْلَةً قَالَ فَرَكِبَتْ نَاقَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ جَعَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ تَنْحَرَهَا قَالَ فَقَدِمَتِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَنْحَرَ نَاقَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمُنِعَتْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بِئْسَمَا جَزَيْتِيهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا نَذْرَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ فِيمَا لَا يَمْلِكُ وَلَا فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ

ahmad:19883Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah > Ayyūb > Abū Qilābah > Abū al-Muhallab > ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "There was a woman captured by the enemy, and they used to release their camels for grazing in the evening. So she came to the camels and wanted to ride one of them, but every time she approached a camel, it would snort and she would leave it until she came to a female camel. It did not snort, so she rode on it and escaped. She arrived in the city, and when the people saw her, they said, 'This is the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Adhba.' She said, 'I vowed to sacrifice it because Allah saved me through it.' He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, 'How bad you have rewarded it! There is no vow for the son of Adam in what he does not possess, nor in disobedience to Allah.'"

[Machine] "A woman from the Muslims was captured by the polytheists, who had previously captured a camel belonging to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . She found the people in a state of negligence and vowed that if Allah saved her, she would sacrifice the camel. He granted her safety and she arrived in the city, intending to sacrifice the camel. However, the people forbade her and the matter was brought to the attention of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, 'How bad is the way she intends to fulfill her vow!' Then he said, 'There is no fulfilling of a vow made by the son of Adam in disobedience to Allah or in something he does not possess.'"
