عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَظَرَ إِلَى أَعْرَابِيٍّ قَائِمًا فِي الشَّمْسِ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكَ قَالَ نَذَرْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا أَزَالَ فِي الشَّمْسِ حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ هَذَا نَذْرًا إِنَّمَا النَّذْرُ مَا ابْتُغِيَ بِهِ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a Bedouin standing in the sun while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What has happened to you?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allah! I have made a vow that I will stand in the sun until you finish this sermon." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not a vow. A vow is that by which Allah’s pleasure is sought."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … What is the point of making a vow (nadhar) for something that is not beloved to the Lawgiver (Shari‘)? Through a vow, such an act is made obligatory by which nearness to Allah Ta‘ala is attained, for example, performing prayer (salah), giving charity (sadaqah), performing Hajj and ‘Umrah, engaging in retreat (i‘tikaf), and so on.
