Hadith 23
Oaths and Vows (Kitab Al-Aiman Wa Al-Nudhur)
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
That when the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed that the sister of 'Uqbah b. 'Amir had taken a vow to perform Hajj on foot, he said: Allah is not in need of her vow. So ask her to ride. Abu Dawud said: Sa'ib b. 'Arubah has transmitted a similar tradition. Khalid has also transmitted a similar tradition on the authority of 'Ikrimah from the Prophet (ﷺ).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمَّا بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ أُخْتَ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَحُجَّ مَاشِيَةً قَالَ :
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنْ نَذْرِهَا، مُرْهَا فَلْتَرْكَبْ
