Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 1063
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.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
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 )
