[Machine] "On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , Allah (God) said: 'No vow made by the son of Adam (human) comes to me in which I do not decree for him what I have prescribed, but it is a way of extracting from the miser (stingy person) what I have not decreed for him to give me.'"

ahmad:8152 –

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3288)
