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