Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 15545 — The polytheists raided the grazing

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The polytheists raided the grazing livestock of Madinah and drove them off, and al-Adba' was among those they took, and they also captured a woman from among the Muslims. Their practice was to rest their camels at night right beside their tents. In part of the night the woman got up one night, when the people had fallen asleep, and every camel she laid her hand on would groan, until she came to al-Adba'. She found a docile, well-guarded she-camel and rode it, and she vowed that if Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, saved her on it, she would slaughter it. So she escaped. When she reached Madinah, the she-camel was recognised, and it was said: This is the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So it was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was told of her vow, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What an evil reward you gave it! Allah saved you on it and you would slaughter it? A vow to commit a sin is not fulfilled, nor a vow concerning something that the son of Adam does not own."
