Chapter 27: Whoever vowed to go on foot to the Ka'bah

باب مَنْ نَذَرَ الْمَشْىَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ

Sahih Al Bukhari 1865

Narrated Anas

The Prophet ﷺ 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, "Allah is not in need of this old man's torturing himself," and ordered him to ride.

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى شَيْخًا يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا بَالُ هَذَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ لَغَنِيٌّ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ‏.‏
