26/1. Chapter:
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ رضي الله عنها، اسْتَفْتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا نَذْرٌ، فَقَالَ: اقْضِهِ عَنْهَا.
Sa‘d bin ‘Ubāda رضي الله عنه asked Allāh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم for his legal opinion (about) saying, “My mother died and she had an unfulfilled vow.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Fulfil it on her behalf.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 23, Vol. 4 )
26/2. Chapter:
حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: نَهى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ النَّذْرِ، قَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَا يَرُدُّ شَيْئًا، وَإِنَّمَا يُسْتَخْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيل.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade vowing and said, “In fact, vowing does not prevent anything, but it makes a miser to spend his wealth.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 605, Vol. 8 )
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: لَا يَأْتِي ابْنَ آدَمَ النَّذْرُ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ قُدِّرَ لَهُ، وَلكِنْ يُلْقِيهِ النَّذْرُ إِلَى الْقَدَرِ قَدْ قُدِّرَ لَهُ، فَيَسْتَخْرِجُ اللهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ، فَيُؤْتِي عَلَيْهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤْتِي عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Allāh تعالى 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 fulfilment of what has been decreed for him what he would not give Me before but for his vow.' " ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 685, Vol. 8 )
26/4. Chapter:
حديث أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى شَيْخًا يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ، قَالَ: مَا بَالُ هذَا قَالُوا: نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ؛ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هذَا نَفْسَهُ لَغَنِيٌّ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 Ka'ba). He said, "Allâh تعالى is not in need of this old man's torturing himself," and ordered him to ride. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 88, Vol. 3 )
26/4. Chapter:
حديث عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: نَذَرَتْ أُخْتِي أَنْ تَمْشِيَ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ، وَأَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَسْتَفْتِيَ لَهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَاسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ ﵇: لِتَمْشِ وَلْتَرْكَبْ.
My sister vowed to go on foot to the Ka'ba, and she asked me to take the verdict of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم about it. So, I did and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "She should walk and also should ride." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 89, Vol. 3 )
