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.

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

What is the matter with him? They said: He had taken the vow to walk (on foot to the Ka'ba). Thereupon he (Allah's Apoitle) said: Allah is indifferent to his inflicting upon himself chastisement, and he commanded him to ride.

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

"The Prophet saw a man being supported by two others and said: 'What is this?' They said: 'He vowed to walk to the House of Allah.' He said: 'Allah has no need for this man to torture himself. Tell him to ride.'"

رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلاً يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ مُرْهُ فَلْيَرْكَبْ

"The Messenger of Allah passed by an old man who was being supported between two men and said: 'What is the matter with him?' They said: 'He vowed to walk.' He said: 'Allah has no need for him to torture himself. Tell him to ride.'" So he was told to ride.

مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَيْخٍ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُ هَذَا قَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ مُرْهُ فَلْيَرْكَبْ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ

Abi 'Amir has also narrated a similar tradition from al-A'raj on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَى رَجُلاً يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ

مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِشَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ يَتَهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُ هَذَا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ قَالَ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِرَجُلٍ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ يَعْنِي إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لِغَنِيٌّ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ» وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ
