Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Maymunah bint Kardam al-Yasariyyah narrates: My father met the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was riding behind him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked my father, and he said: I have made a vow to offer a sacrifice at Buwanah (a place by the seashore). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Is there any idol or image there? My father replied: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Fulfill your vow there where you made the vow.

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir that a man made a vow to perform prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis. Then he asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it.

He repeated this three times, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Perform the prayer where I have told you.

He replied that if he performs that number of rak'ahs in Masjid al-Haram, it will suffice on his behalf, as performing prayer in Masjid al-Haram is the most virtuous.

Hasan was asked about a person who made a vow to go to a certain house which he named. He replied: He should consider the amount of his expenditure and give it in charity; he should not go there.
