حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ كَرْدَمِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، نَحْوَهُ مُخْتَصَرٌ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ قَالَ : " هَلْ بِهَا وَثَنٌ أَوْ عِيدٌ مِنْ أَعْيَادِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ " . قَالَ : لاَ . قُلْتُ : إِنَّ أُمِّي هَذِهِ عَلَيْهَا نَذْرٌ وَمَشْىٌ أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ : أَنَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " .
A similar tradition has also been transmitted in brief by Maimunah daughter of Kardam son of Sufyan on the authority of her father through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: (The Prophet asked): Does it contain an idol or was a festival of pre-Islamic times celebrated there ? He replied: No. I said: This mother of mine has taken a vow and walking (is binding on her). May I fulfill it on her behalf ? Sometimes the narrator Bashshar said: May we fulfill in on her behalf ? He said: Yes.
