Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A vow concerning disobedience to Allah Almighty is not to be fulfilled."
Imam Ahmad recorded it; it has been said about Sulayman bin Musa that he did not hear from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him).
He also recorded it with the narrators of the Sahih, but it is mawquf (stopping at the Companion) on Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him).
A man narrated that he performed Hajj tied with a rope to a relative of his. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw this, he said: "What is the reason for this?" He said that it was a vow. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the rope be cut.
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its chain contains a narrator who is not named.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came upon two men who were joined to each other and were walking on foot towards the House (the Ka'bah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is the matter with this rope?" They both said: "O Messenger of Allah! We vowed that we would walk on foot to the House tied together with a rope in this way." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not a vow." He had their rope cut and said: "A vow is only that by which the pleasure of Allah Almighty is sought." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Imam Abu Dawud recorded the last part of this narration.
Imam Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Abd al-Rahman bin Abi al-Zinad, whom a group declared thiqah (trustworthy) while others declared him da'if (weak).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by two men who were tied together and on their way to Hajj; they had made a vow. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Both of you, remove your rope." They said: "O Messenger of Allah! It is a vow." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Both of you, remove your rope, and then go for Hajj."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is the matter with her?" The people said that she was a woman of Quraysh who had vowed to go for Hajj with her hair left loose (that is, without a covering). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to put on a head-covering.
Imam al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Yahya bin Abi Yahya, who is other than the one mentioned in al-Mizan, because al-Fadl bin Sahl al-A'raj narrated from this one, and he narrates from Zayd bin al-Hubab. The rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A vow is only valid in that by which Allah Almighty is obeyed; a vow concerning cutting off ties of kinship has no standing; and divorce or freeing a slave has no standing when a person does not own (the matter)."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and added these words: "An oath concerning usurpation has no standing," and in it these words are omitted: "A vow concerning cutting off ties of kinship has no standing." The narrators of al-Mu'jam al-Kabir are thiqat (trustworthy).
Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I have preserved for you six things from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The right to divorce exists only after marriage; freeing a slave is only after ownership; and a vow concerning disobedience is not fulfilled." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: This narration in full will come in the chapter on divorce.

He noticed a man standing; he appeared to be a Bedouin and was standing in the sun. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Why is it that I see you standing?" He said: "I have vowed that I will not sit until you finish your sermon." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Sit down! This is not a vow. A vow is that by which the pleasure of Allah Almighty is intended."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Abdullah bin Nafi' al-Madani, who is da'if (weak).
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Sayyiduna Abu Isra'il (may Allah be pleased with him) vowed that he would stand in the sun for a whole day, until night fell, and would not speak. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to sit down and to speak.

Sayyiduna al-Nawwas bin Sam'an al-Kilabi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The she-camel of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), al-Jad'a', was stolen. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If Allah Almighty returns her to me, I will surely give thanks to my Lord." That she-camel ended up with one of the Arab tribes, among whom was a Muslim woman. When the camels went out to graze, she would graze apart on her own, and when the camels knelt down, she would kneel apart on her own, laying her neck on the ground. The woman thought: "It seems this she-camel is somehow familiar." Allah Almighty put it into her mind that she could escape riding on her. She found the people off their guard, so she mounted the she-camel, set her moving, and riding on her reached Madinah by morning. When the Muslims saw her, they were delighted and walked alongside her until they came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw her, he said: "All praise belongs to Allah alone." The woman said: "O Messenger of Allah! I vowed that if Allah Almighty saved me on this she-camel, I would sacrifice her and feed her meat to the poor." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What a bad reward you have given her! Your vow can only be about what you own." The narrator said: We kept waiting to see whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would fast or pray. The people thought that perhaps he had forgotten, and they said: "O Messenger of Allah! You said that if Allah Almighty returned this she-camel to you, you would give thanks to Allah Almighty." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did I not say: 'All praise belongs to Allah alone'?"
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Amr bin Waqid al-Qurashi, whom Muhammad bin al-Mubarak al-Suri declared thiqah (trustworthy), but this view of his has been rejected; the Imams declared this narrator da'if (weak), and his hadith was abandoned (matruk).

Sayyiduna Abu Tha'labah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I vowed that I would slaughter my camels at one of the idols of the Jahiliyyah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fulfil your vow, but do not disobey your Lord." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no obligation to fulfil a vow concerning disobedience, concerning cutting off ties of kinship, or concerning what a person does not own."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir within a long hadith which has already passed in full in the chapter on lost property (luqatah); its chain contains a narrator, Yazid bin Sinan, whom Abu Hatim and others declared thiqah (trustworthy), while a group declared him da'if (weak).
Sayyiduna Kardam bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! I vowed that I would sacrifice a camel at such-and-such a place." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fulfil your vow; but a vow concerning cutting off ties of kinship has no standing, nor does a vow concerning what a person does not own."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it within a long hadith that will come later in the chapter on marriage, in sha' Allah; its chain contains a narrator whom I do not know.
Ali bin Zayd bin Jud'an narrated: Sayyiduna Safwan bin al-Mu'attal (may Allah be pleased with him) vowed that he would strike Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) a blow with the sword.

This narration is mursal (missing the Companion link), and the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
