أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ , عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَحْوَلُ , عَنْ طَاوُسٍ , عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ , قَالَ : مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجُلٍ يَقُودُ رَجُلًا فِي قَرَنٍ , فَتَنَاوَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَطَعَهُ , قَالَ : إِنَّهُ نَذْرٌ .

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
It is obligatory to fulfill a vow (nadhar) that pertains to an act of righteousness and nearness (to Allah). However, a vow of this kind, from which nothing is gained except hardship and humiliation—neither does the one who makes the vow benefit, nor does anyone else—this is a meaningless vow. Such a vow should not be fulfilled because it is without benefit.
