ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى إِبَاحَةِ قَضَاءِ النَّاذِرِ نَذَرَهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بِمُحَرَّمٍ عَلَيْهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from one of his expeditions, and a black servant girl came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I made a vow that if Allah returns you safely, I will hit you on the head with a tambourine." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you have made a vow, then fulfill it. Otherwise, do not do it." She said, "I indeed made a vow." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down and she hit him on the head with the tambourine.  

ابن حبّان:٤٣٨٦أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ يَحْيَى بْنُ وَاضِحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَجَاءَتْ جَارِيَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ إِنْ رَدَّكَ اللَّهُ سَالِمًا أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ بِالدُّفِّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ نَذَرْتِ فَافْعَلِي وَإِلَّا فَلَا» قَالَتْ إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَذَرْتُ فَقَعَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَضَرَبَتْ بِالدُّفِّ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ returned from one of his battles, and then a young black girl approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I had made a vow that if Allah returns you safely, I will play the tambourine in front of you." He replied, "If you had made a vow, then go ahead and play it." So she began to play, and then Abu Bakr entered while she was playing, and then Umar entered. The girl dropped the tambourine under her when she saw Umar and sat on it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Satan fears you, O Umar."
