موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب النذور والأيمانBook: On the Explanation of Vows
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي مَنْ نَذَرَ مَشْيًا إِلَى بَيْتِ اللّٰهِChapter on what is reported regarding one who vows to walk to the House of Allah
Hadith 1014B3
قَالَ يَحْيَى : سُئِلَ مَالِك، عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَحْلِفُ بِنُذُورٍ مُسَمَّاةٍ مَشْيًا إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ، أَنْ لَا يُكَلِّمَ أَخَاهُ أَوْ أَبَاهُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا نَذْرًا لِشَيْءٍ لَا يَقْوَى عَلَيْهِ، وَلَوْ تَكَلَّفَ ذَلِكَ كُلَّ عَامٍ لَعُرِفَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَبْلُغُ عُمْرُهُ مَا جَعَلَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : هَلْ يُجْزِيهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ نَذْرٌ وَاحِدٌ أَوْ نُذُورٌ مُسَمَّاةٌ ؟ فَقَالَ مَالِك : مَا أَعْلَمُهُ يُجْزِئُهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا الْوَفَاءُ بِمَا جَعَلَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، فَلْيَمْشِ مَا قَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الزَّمَانِ، وَلْيَتَقَرَّبْ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِمَا اسْتَطَاعَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: If a person makes several vows that are impossible to fulfill in his entire lifetime, for example, "I will go to the House of Allah on foot," or "I will not speak to my father or brother," is it sufficient for him to fulfill one vow, or is it necessary to fulfill all the vows? Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: In my view, it is necessary to fulfill all the vows as much as possible and for as long as possible, and to seek closeness to Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, through good deeds as much as one is able.
