وعن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رجلا قال يوم الفتح : يا رسول الله إني نذرت إن فتح الله عليك مكة أن أصلي في بيت المقدس ؟ فقال : « صل ها هنا » فسأله فقال : «صل ها هنا » فسأله فقال : « فشأنك إذن ». رواه أحمد وأبو داود وصححه الحاكم.
Narrated Jabir (bin 'Abdullah) (RA): A man said on the day of the Fath, "O Messenger of Allah, I have vowed that if Allah opens the conquest of Makkah at your hands I shall pray in Jerusalem." He replied, "Pray here." He asked him again and he replied, "Pray here." He asked him again and he replied, "It's up to you, then." [Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawud. al-Hakim graded it Sahih (authentic)].

«أخرجه أبوداود، الأيمان والنذور، باب من نذر أن يصلي في بيت المقدس، حديث:3305، وأحمد:3 /363، والحاكم:4 /304، 305.»©Explanation:
This hadith is evidence that if, for the fulfillment of a vow (nadhar), a specific place has been designated, and the vow is fulfilled at a place superior to that, then the vow is considered fulfilled. In fact, the context of the hadith itself necessitates that preference is given to the superior location, even if it is different from the place specified in the vow.
