Chapter 1236: The View That Atonement Is Necessary If A Man Vows To Disobey Allah

باب مَنْ رَأَى عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةً إِذَا كَانَ فِي مَعْصِيَةٍ

Sunan Abi Dawud 3301

Narrated Anas b. Malik

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ a man that he was supported between his sons. He asked about him, and (the people) said: He has taken a vow to walk (on foot). Thereupon he said: Allah has no need that this man should punish himself, and he ordered him to ride.

Abu Dawud said: 'Amr b. Abi 'Amir has also narrated a similar tradition from al-A'raj on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (ﷺ).

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، ‏:‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى رَجُلاً يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا ‏:‏ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ‏:‏ رَوَاهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَحْوَهُ ‏.‏
