(1061) bukhari:2761ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh > Ibn ʿAbbās > Saʿd

Saʿd bin Ubada consulted Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "My mother died and she had an unfulfilled vow." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Fulfill it on her behalf."  

(١٠٦١) البخاري:٢٧٦١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ

أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ ؓ اسْتَفْتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا نَذْرٌ فَقَالَ اقْضِهِ عَنْهَا  

(1062) bukhari:6608Abū Nuʿaym > Sufyān > Manṣūr > ʿAbdullāh b. Murrah > Ibn ʿUmar

The Prophet ﷺ forbade vowing and said, "In fact, vowing does not prevent anything, but it makes a miser to spend his property."  

(١٠٦٢) البخاري:٦٦٠٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ

نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ النَّذْرِ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لاَ يَرُدُّ شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا يُسْتَخْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ  

(1063) bukhari:6694Abū al-Yamān > Shuʿayb > Abū al-Zinād > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah says, 'The vow, does not bring about for the son of Adam anything I have not decreed for him, but his vow may coincide with what has been decided for him, and by this way I cause a miser to spend of his wealth. So he gives Me (spends in charity) for the fulfillment of what has been decreed for him what he would not give Me before but for his vow."  

(١٠٦٣) البخاري:٦٦٩٤حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ يَأْتِي ابْنَ آدَمَ النَّذْرُ بِشَىْءٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ قُدِّرَ لَهُ وَلَكِنْ يُلْقِيهِ النَّذْرُ إِلَى الْقَدَرِ قَدْ قُدِّرَ لَهُ فَيَسْتَخْرِجُ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ فَيُؤْتِي عَلَيْهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤْتِي عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ  

(1064) bukhari:1865Ibn Salām > al-Fazārī > Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl > Thābit > Anas

The Prophet ﷺ saw an old man walking, supported by his two sons, and asked about him. The people informed him that he had vowed to go on foot (to the Kaʿba). He said, "Allah is not in need of this old man's torturing himself," and ordered him to ride.  

(١٠٦٤) البخاري:١٨٦٥حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَزَارِيُّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى شَيْخًا يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ قَالَ مَا بَالُ هَذَا قَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ لَغَنِيٌّ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ  

(1065) bukhari:1866Ibrāhīm b. Mūsá > Hishām b. Yūsuf > Ibn Jurayj > Saʿīd b. Abū Ayyūb > Yazīd b. Abū Ḥabīb > Abū al-Khayr > ʿUqbah b. ʿĀmir > Nadharat Ukhtī > Tamshī > Bayt Allāh And ʾAmaratnī

My sister vowed to go on foot to the Kaʿba, and she asked me to take the verdict of the Prophet ﷺ about it. So, I did and the Prophet ﷺ said, "She should walk and also should ride." Narrated Abul-Khair from ʿUqba as above.:  

(١٠٦٥) البخاري:١٨٦٦حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا الْخَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ

نَذَرَتْ أُخْتِي أَنْ تَمْشِيَ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ وَأَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَسْتَفْتِيَ لَهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَاسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ لِتَمْشِ وَلْتَرْكَبْ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَبُو الْخَيْرِ لاَ يُفَارِقُ عُقْبَةَ  

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
