Hadith 1181

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)]. Abu Dawud has from the narration of Ibn Abbas (RA) (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)]. 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." 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].
