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

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet ﷺ as saying: No vow must be taken to do an act of disobedience, and the atonement for it is the same as for an oath.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by al-Zuhri through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Shabbuyah say: Ibn al-Mubarak said about this tradition that Abu Salamah had transmitted it. This indicates that al-Zuhri did not hear it from Abu Salamah. Ahmad bin Muhammad said: This is verified by what Ayyub bin Sulaiman narrated to us. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal say: I have corrupted this tradition for us. He was asked: Do you think that it is correct that this tradition has been corrupted? Has any person other than Ibn Abi Uwais transmitted it ? He replied: Ayyub was similar to him in respect of reliability, and Ayyub transmitted it.

Narrated Aishah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: No vow must be taken to do an act of disobedience, and the atonement for it is the same as for an oath. Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Marwazi said: The correct chain of this tradition is: Ali bin al-Mubarak, from Yahya bin Abi Kathir, from Muhammad bin al-Zubair, from his father, on the authority of Imran bin Husain from the Prophet ﷺ Abu Dawud said: By this he (al-Marwazi) means that the narrator Sulaiman bin Arqam had some misunderstanding about this tradition. Al-Zuhri narrated it from him and then transmitted it (omitting his name) from Abu Salamah on the authority of Aishah. Abu Dawud said: Baqiyyah has transmitted it from al-Auzai from Yahya, from Muhammad bin al-Zubair with a similar chain of Ibn al-Mubarak.

Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: Uqbah consulted the Prophet ﷺ about his sister who took a vow to perform hajj barefooted and bareheaded. So he said: Command her to cover her head and to ride, and to fast three days.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Saeed al-Ru'aini with the same chain as narrated by Yahya (b. Saeed) and to the same effect.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man came to Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, my sister has taken a vow to perform hajj on foot. The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah gets no good from the affliction your sister imposed on herself, so let her perform hajj riding and make atonement for her oath.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: That the sister of Uqbah bin Amir took vow to walk on foot to the Kabah. Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ ordered her to ride and slaughter a sacrificial animal.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: That when the Prophet ﷺ was informed that the sister of Uqbah bin 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: Saib bin 'Arubah has transmitted a similar tradition. Khalid has also transmitted a similar tradition on the authority of Ikrimah from the Prophet ﷺ.

Narrated Ikrimah: The tradition about the sister of Uqbah bin Amir as narrated by Hisham, but he made no mention of the sacrificial animal. In his version he said: Ask your sister to ride. Abu Dawud said: Khalid narrated it from Ikrimah to the same effect as narrated by Hisham.

Narrated Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani: My sister took a vow to walk on foot to the House of Allah (i. e. Kabah). She asked me to consult the Prophet ﷺ about her. So I consulted the Prophet ﷺ. He said: Let her walk and ride.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: While the Prophet ﷺ was preaching a man was standing in the sun. He asked about him. They said: He is Abu Isra'il who has taken a vow to stand and not to sit, or go into shade, or speak, but to fast. Thereupon he said: Command him to speak, to go into the shade, sit and complete his fast.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw 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 bin Abi Amir has also narrated a similar tradition from al-Araj on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ while going round the Kabah passed a man who was led with a ring of bridle in his nose. The Prophet ﷺ cut it off with his hand and ordered to lead him by catching his hand.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The sister of Uqbah ibn Amir took a vow that she would perform hajj on foot, and she was unable to do so. The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah is not in need of the walking of your sister. She must ride and offer a sacrificial camel.

Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir al-Juhani: Uqbah said to the Prophet ﷺ: My sister has taken a vow that she will walk to the House of Allah (the Kabah). Thereupon he said: Allah will not do anything of the walking of your sister to the House of Allah (i. e. the Kabah).
