حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ أَبِي النُّعْمَانِ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ،عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا وَعَدَ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ وَمِنْ نِيَّتِهِ أَنْ يَفِيَ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَفِ وَلَمْ يَجِئْ لِلْمِيعَادِ ، فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ " .
Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: The Prophet ﷺ said: When a man makes a promise to his brother with the intention of fulfilling it and does not do so, and does not come at the appointed time, he is guilty of no sin.
