"The Prophet ﷺ saw an old man walking between his two sons, and he said: What is the matter with him?' His sons said: 'A vow, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Let this old man ride, for Allah has no need of you or your vow."' (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2135)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَدْرَكَ شَيْخًا يَمْشِي بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ هَذَا الشَّيْخِ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنَاهُ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ فَقَالَ «ارْكَبْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ نَذْرِكَ»
Allah's Apostle ﷺ found an old man walking between his two sons supported by them, whereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: What is the matter with him? He (the narrator) said: Messenger of Allah, they are his sons and there is upon him the (fulfilment) of the vow, whereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Ride, old man, for Allah is not in need of you and your vow.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَدْرَكَ شَيْخًا يَمْشِي بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا شَأْنُ هَذَا قَالَ ابْنَاهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ نَذْرٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ارْكَبْ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ نَذْرِكَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ وَابْنِ حُجْرٍ
"The Prophet ﷺ saw an old man walking between his two sons, and he said: What is the matter with him?' His sons said: 'A vow, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Let this old man ride, for Allah has no need of you or your vow."'
رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَيْخًا يَمْشِي بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ هَذَا قَالَ ابْنَاهُ نَذْرٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ارْكَبْ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ نَذْرِكَ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came across an old man walking between his two sons, leaning on them. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is the matter with this old man?" His sons replied, "O Messenger of Allah, he had made a vow, so he told him to ride, saying that Allah is rich and does not need you or your vow."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَدْرَكَ شَيْخًا يَمْشِي بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا شَأْنُ هَذَا الشَّيْخِ؟ قَالَ ابْنَاهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ نَذْرٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ ارْكَبْ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ غَنِيٌّ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ نَذْرِكَ

He (the narrator) said: Messenger of Allah, they are his sons and there is upon him the (fulfilment) of the vow, whereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Ride, old man, for Allah is not in need of you and your vow. (Using translation from Muslim 1643a)
