باب المياه

Bulugh al-Maram 13

Narrated Ibn 'Umar

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him): Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Two types of dead animals and two types of bloods have been made lawful for us, the two types of dead animals are locusts and fish (seafood), while the two types of bloods are the liver and the spleen". [Reported by Ahmad and Ibn Majah, and this Hadith has some weakness.]

وَعَنْ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ أُحِلَّتْ لَنَا مَيْتَتَانِ وَدَمَانِ, فَأَمَّا الْمَيْتَتَانِ: فَالْجَرَادُ وَالْحُوتُ, وَأَمَّا الدَّمَانُ: فَالطِّحَالُ وَالْكَبِدُ } أَخْرَجَهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ, وَفِيهِ ضَعْفٌ 1‏ .‏

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RAA)

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The soil is a purifier for a Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years; but if he finds water, he must fear Allah and let it touch his skin."

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ اَلصَّعِيدُ وُضُوءُ اَلْمُسْلِمِ, وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ اَلْمَاءَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ, فَإِذَا وَجَدَ اَلْمَاءَ فَلْيَتَّقِ اَللَّهَ, وَلْيُمِسَّهُ بَشَرَتَهُ } رَوَاهُ اَلْبَزَّارُ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ اَلْقَطَّانِ, ]و] لَكِنْ صَوَّبَ اَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ إِرْسَالَه ُ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 133

Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RAA)

Two men set out on a journey and when the time of Salat (prayer) came they had no water. They performed Tayammum with clean earth and prayed. Later on they found water within the time of the prayer. One of them repeated his prayer with ablution but the other did not repeat. Then they came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and related the matter to him. Addressing himself to the one who did not repeat, he said, "You followed the Sunnah and your (first) prayer was enough for you."[9] He said to the one who performed ablution and repeated: "For you there is a double reward". [Reported by Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i]

وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ اَلْخُدْرِيِّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { خَرَجَ رَجُلَانِ فِي سَفَرٍ, فَحَضَرَتْ اَلصَّلَاةَ ‏-وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمَا مَاءٌ‏- فَتَيَمَّمَا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا, فَصَلَّيَا, ثُمَّ وَجَدَا اَلْمَاءَ فِي اَلْوَقْتِ.‏ فَأَعَادَ أَحَدُهُمَا اَلصَّلَاةَ وَالْوُضُوءَ, وَلَمْ يُعِدِ اَلْآخَرُ, ثُمَّ أَتَيَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-فَذَكَرَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ, فَقَالَ لِلَّذِي لَمْ يُعِدْ: "أَصَبْتَ اَلسُّنَّةَ وَأَجْزَأَتْكَ صَلَاتُكَ" وَقَالَ لِلْآخَرِ: "لَكَ اَلْأَجْرُ مَرَّتَيْنِ" } رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, ]و] النَّسَائِيّ ُ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 134

Narrated Ibn `Abbas (RAA)

concerning the verse, “And if you are ill or on a journey...” (an-Nisa': 43). He said, "If a man sustains a wound, which he suffered during Jihad (in the cause of Allah) or ulcers, then he became junub (sexually impure) and is afraid that if he bathes he would die; he may perform ablution with clean earth (Tayammum). [Reported by Ad- Daraqutni in a Mawquf (untraceable) Hadith and Al-Bazzar in a Marfu' (traceable) one. Ibn Khuzaima and Al-Hakim graded it Sahih (sound)].

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ﴿ وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَرْضَى أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ ﴾ 1‏ قَالَ: "إِذَا كَانَتْ بِالرَّجُلِ اَلْجِرَاحَةُ فِي سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ وَالْقُرُوحُ, فَيُجْنِبُ, فَيَخَافُ أَنْ يَمُوتَ إِنْ اِغْتَسَلَ: تَيَمَّمَ" .‏ رَوَاهُ اَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ مَوْقُوفًا, وَرَفَعَهُ اَلْبَزَّارُ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ, وَالْحَاكِم ُ 2‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 135

Narrated `Ali (RAA)

One of my forearms was broken. Then I consulted Allah's Messenger ﷺ and he ordered me to wipe over the bandages. [Reported by Ibn Majah with a very weak chain of narrators].

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { اِنْكَسَرَتْ إِحْدَى زَنْدَيَّ فَسَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَمْسَحَ عَلَى اَلْجَبَائِرِ } رَوَاهُ اِبْنُ مَاجَه بِسَنَدٍ وَاهٍ جِدًّ ا 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 136

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RAA)

concerning the man who had a head injury, and then he made Ghusl and died: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Peace be upon him said, "It would have been enough for him to perform Tayammum and wrap it with something and wipe over the wrapping and wash the rest of his body." [Reported by Abu Da'ud, but there is a weakness in its chain of narrators]

{ وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ]بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ] رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي اَلرَّجُلِ اَلَّذِي شُجَّ, فَاغْتَسَلَ فَمَاتَ ‏-: "إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيهِ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمَ, وَيَعْصِبَ عَلَى جُرْحِهِ خِرْقَةً, ثُمَّ يَمْسَحَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَغْسِلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ" } رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِسَنَدٍ فِيهِ ضَعْفٌ, وَفِيهِ اِخْتِلَافٌ عَلَى رُوَاتِه ِ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 137

Narrated Ibn `Abbas (RAA)

It is from the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ) for the man to pray only one prayer with each Tayammum, and then perform Tayammum for the next prayer. [Reported by Ad-Daraqutni but with a very weak chain of narrators]

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: { مِنْ اَلسُّنَّةِ أَنْ لَا يُصَلِّيَ اَلرَّجُلُ بِالتَّيَمُّمِ إِلَّا صَلَاةً وَاحِدَةً, ثُمَّ يَتَيَمَّمُ لِلصَّلَاةِ اَلْأُخْرَى } رَوَاهُ اَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ بِإِسْنَادٍ ضَعِيفٍ جِدًّ ا 1‏ .‏

Chapter 10: Menstruation

باب الحيض

Bulugh al-Maram 138

Narrated `A'ishah (RAA)

Fatima bint Abu Hubaish used to have a prolonged flow of blood (Istihadah) and so Allah’s Messenger ﷺ· told her, "If it is the blood of menstruation it will be dark (almost black) and recognizable (by women). If it is that, then leave the prayer. If it is other than that, then make ablution and pray." [Reported by Abu Da'ud and An-Nasa’i. Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim graded it Sahih (sound).]

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: { إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ كَانَتْ تُسْتَحَاضُ, فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-"إِنَّ دَمَ اَلْحَيْضِ دَمٌ أَسْوَدُ يُعْرَفُ, فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَأَمْسِكِي مِنَ اَلصَّلَاةِ, فَإِذَا كَانَ اَلْآخَرُ فَتَوَضَّئِي, وَصَلِّي" } رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَالنَّسَائِيُّ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ حِبَّانَ, وَالْحَاكِمُ, وَاسْتَنْكَرَهُ أَبُو حَاتِم ٍ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 139

In the narration of Asma bint ‘Umais, Abu Dawud transmitted, (the Prophet (ﷺ) Peace be upon him said

وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ عِنْدَ أَبِي دَاوُدَ: { لِتَجْلِسْ فِي مِرْكَنٍ, فَإِذَا رَأَتْ صُفْرَةً فَوْقَ اَلْمَاءِ, فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ لِلظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ غُسْلاً وَاحِدًا, وَتَغْتَسِلْ لِلْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ غُسْلاً وَاحِدًا, وَتَغْتَسِلْ لِلْفَجْرِ غُسْلاً, وَتَتَوَضَّأْ فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ } 1‏ .‏

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) overtook 'Umar bin al-Khattab when he was with a party of riders of about ten and 'Umar was swearing by his father. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called them and said, "Verily! Allah forbids you from swearing by your fathers. Therefore, if anyone swears, he must swear by Allah or keep silent." [Agreed upon]

عَنْ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا, { عَنْ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَنَّهُ أَدْرَكَ عُمَرَ بْنَ اَلْخَطَّابِ فِي رَكْبٍ, وَعُمَرَ يَحْلِفُ بِأَبِيهِ, فَنَادَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-"أَلَا إِنَّ اَللَّهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ, فَمَنْ كَانَ حَالِفاً فَلْيَحْلِفْ بِاَللَّهِ, أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ" } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1‏ .‏

وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِأَبِي دَاوُدَ, وَالنَّسَائِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { لَا تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ, وَلَا بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ, وَلَا بِالْأَنْدَادِ, وَلَا تَحْلِفُوا إِلَّا بِاَللَّهِ, وَلَا تَحْلِفُوا بِاَللَّهِ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ صَادِقُونَ" } 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1376

Narrated May Allah be pleased with him

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Your oath will be about that matter which your adversary has required you to swear about so that he will believe you." In another narration: "An oath is to be interpreted according to the intention of the one who requested it (Al-Mustahlif)." [Muslim reported both narrations].

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ " يَمِينُكَ عَلَى مَا يُصَدِّقُكَ بِهِ صَاحِبُكَ" } وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: { "اَلْيَمِينُ عَلَى نِيَّةِ اَلْمُسْتَحْلِفِ" } أَخْرَجَهُمَا مُسْلِمٌ 1‏ .‏

[The chains of narrators of both Ahadith are Sahih (authentic)].

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ, فَرَأَيْتُ غَيْرَهَا خَيْراً مِنْهَا, فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ, وَائْتِ اَلَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ" } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1‏ .‏ وَفِي لَفْظٍ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ: { " فَائِت اَلَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ, وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ" } 2‏ .‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِأَبِي دَاوُدَ: { " فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ, ثُمَّ اِئْتِ اَلَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ" } وَإِسْنَادُهَا صَحِيحٌ 3‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1378

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him)

Bulugh al-Maram 1379

Narrated Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with him)

The Prophet's oath (ﷺ) used to be: "No, by Him Who turns (changes) the hearts." [Reported by al-Bukhari].

وَعَنْ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: { كَانَتْ يَمِينُ اَلنَّبِيِّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-"لَا, وَمُقَلِّبِ اَلْقُلُوبِ" } رَوَاهُ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1380

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (May Allah be pleased with him)

A desert Arab came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger, what are the major sins?" The narrator reported the Hadith and it contains: "The false oath." It contains also: I asked, "What is the false oath?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "It is that (oath) by which one takes possession of the property of a Muslim person, while he is lying." [al-Bukhari reported it].

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِوٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: { جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ! مَا اَلْكَبَائِرُ?.‏ … فَذَكَرَ اَلْحَدِيثَ, وَفِيهِ قُلْتُ: وَمَا اَلْيَمِينُ اَلْغَمُوسُ? قَالَ: " اَلَّذِي يَقْتَطِعُ مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ, هُوَ فِيهَا كَاذِبٌ" } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ.‏ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1381

Narrated 'Aishah (RA) regarding the saying of Allah the Most High

"Allah will not punish you for what is unintentional in your oaths (5:89)." She said: It (was sent down about such phrases as) a person's sayying: 'No, by Allah' and 'Yes, by Allah.' [al-Bukhari reported it (Mauquf, i.e. as a saying of 'Aishah). Abu Dawud reported it as Marfu' (attributed to the Prophet).]

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا { فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿ لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اَللَّهُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِي أَيْمَانِكُمْ ﴾ 1‏ قَالَتْ: هُوَ قَوْلُ اَلرَّجُلِ: لَا وَاَللَّهِ.‏ بَلَى وَاَللَّهِ } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ 2‏ .‏ وَأَوْرَدَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ مَرْفُوعاً 3‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1382

Narrated May Allah be pleased with him

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Verily! Allah has ninety-nine Names concerning which he who retains them in his memory will enter Paradise." [Agreed upon]. at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban listed the Names. However, investigations show that their listing is Idraj (an insertion) from one of the narrators [not from the words of the Prophet].

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ "إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تِسْعًا وَتِسْعِينَ اِسْماً, مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ اَلْجَنَّةَ" } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1‏ .‏ وَسَاقَ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَابْنُ حِبَّانَ اَلْأَسْمَاءِ, وَالتَّحْقِيقُ أَنَّ سَرْدَهَا إِدْرَاجٌ مِنْ بَعْضِ اَلرُّوَاةِ 2‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1383

Narrated Usama bin Zaid (RA)

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said. "If one is done a kindness and [expresses his gratitude] to his benefactor by saying 'May Allah give you a good reward', he has fully expressed his appreciation." [at-Tirmidhi reported it, and Ibn Hibban graded it Sahih (authentic)].

وَعَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ "مَنْ صُنِعَ إِلَيْهِ مَعْرُوفٌ, فَقَالَ لِفَاعِلِهِ: جَزَاكِ اَللَّهُ خَيْراً.‏ فَقَدْ أَبْلَغَ فِي اَلثَّنَاءِ" } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ حِبَّانَ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1384

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him)

The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade making vows, and said, "It does not bring good. Indeed, it is only a means by which something is extracted from the miserly." [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا, { عَنْ اَلنَّبِيِّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ اَلنَّذْرِ وَقَالَ: " إِنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِي بِخَيْرٍ وَإِنَّمَا يُسْتَخْرَجُ بِهِ مِنْ اَلْبَخِيلِ" } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1385

Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Aamir (RA)

Allah's Mssenger (ﷺ) said, "The atonement for a vow (Nadhr) is (the same as) the atonement an oath (Yamin)." [Reported by Muslim]. at-Tirmidhi added, "If he did not specify it." [And he graded it Sahih (authentic)].

وَعَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ "كَفَّارَةُ اَلنَّذْرِ كَفَّارَةُ يَمِينٍ" } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.‏ 1‏ .‏ وَزَادَ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ فِيهِ: { إِذَا لَمْ يُسَمِّ } , وَصَحَّحَهُ.‏ 2‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1386

Abu Dawud has from the narration of Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) (who reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying)

"If anyone takes a vow but does not name it, its atonement is the same as that for an oath. If anyone takes a vow to do an act of disobedience, its atonement is the same as that for an oath. If anyone takes a vow which he is unable to fulfill , its atonement is the same as that for an oath." [Its chain of narrators is authentic, but the Hadith scholars held that the strongest view is that it is Mawquf (saying of a Companion)].

وَلِأَبِي دَاوُدَ: مِنْ حَدِيثِ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَرْفُوعاً: { "مِنْ نَذَرَ نَذْراً لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ, فَكَفَّارَتُهُ كَفَّارَةُ يَمِينٍ, وَمَنْ نَذَرَ نَذْراً فِي مَعْصِيَةٍ, فَكَفَّارَتُهُ كَفَّارَةُ يَمِينٍ, وَمَنْ نَذَرَ نَذْراً لَا يُطِيقُهُ, فَكَفَّارَتُهُ كَفَّارَةُ يَمِينٍ" } وَإِسْنَادُهُ صَحِيحٌ; إِلَّا أَنَّ اَلْحُفَّاظَ رَجَّحُوا وَقْفَهُ.‏ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1387

al-Bukhari has reported from the Hadith of 'Aishah (RA)

(Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said) "If anyone vows to disobey Allah, then he must not disobey Him."

وَلِلْبُخَارِيِّ: مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ: { " وَمَنْ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَعْصِيَ اَللَّهَ فَلَا يَعْصِهِ" } 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1388

Muslim has reported from the Hadith of 'Imran (RA)

(Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said) "There is no fulfillment of a vow involving an act of disobedience." [Reported by Muslim].

وَلِمُسْلِمٍ: مِنْ حَدِيثِ عِمْرَانَ: { " لَا وَفَاءَ لِنَذْرٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةٍ" } 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1389

Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Aamir (RA)

His sister took a vow to walk to Allah's House (for pilgrimage) barefooted. Then, she ordered him to consult Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), so he consulted him for a religious verdict and the Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Let her walk and ride." [Agreed upon, and the wording is Muslim's].

وَعَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { نَذَرَتْ أُخْتِي أَنْ تَمْشِيَ إِلَى بَيْتِ اَللَّهِ حَافِيَةً, فَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-"لِتَمْشِ وَلْتَرْكَبْ" } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ, وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُسْلِمٍ.‏ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1392

Narrated Thabit bin ad-Dahhak (RA)

that in the time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a man took a vow to slaughter camels at Bawana. So, he came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked him (about that). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "Did the place contain any idol which was worshiped (during Jahiliyya era)?" He said, "No." He asked "Were any of their (Jahiliyya) festivals observed there?" He said, "No." He then said (to the man), "Fulfill your vow, for there is no fulfillment of a vow to do an act of disobedience to Allah, now to break the ties of relationship, nor to do something over which a human being has no control." [Reported by Abu Dawud and at-Tabarani, and the wording is his (at-Tabarani). It has a sound chain of narrators].

Likewise, a man who does not know what is right and judges people with ignorance, will be in the Hell-fire." [Reported by al-Arba'a, and al-Hakim graded it Sahih (authentic)].
