أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ بْنِ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَحْمَسَ يُقَالُ لَهَا زَيْنَبُ، قَالَ: فَرَآهَا لَا تَتَكَلَّمُ، فَقَالَ: "مَا لَهَا لَا تَتَكَلَّمُ ؟"، قَالُوا: نَوَتْ حَجَّةً مُصْمِتَةً، فَقَالَ لَهَا: "تَكَلَّمِي، فَإِنَّ هَذَا لَا يَحِلُّ، هَذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ"، قَالَ: فَتَكَلَّمَتْ، فَقَالَتْ: مَنْ أَنْتَ، قَالَ: أَنَا امْرُؤٌ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، قَالَتْ: مِنْ أَيِّ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ ؟، قَالَ: مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، قَالَتْ: فَمِنْ أَيِّ قُرَيْشٍ أَنْتَ ؟، قَالَ: إِنَّكِ لَسَئُولٌ، أَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَتْ: مَا بَقَاؤُنَا عَلَى هَذَا الْأَمْرِ الصَّالِحِ الَّذِي جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِهِ بَعْدَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ؟، فَقَالَ: بَقَاؤُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَا اسْتَقَامَتْ بِكُمْ أَئِمَّتُكُمْ، قَالَتْ: وَمَا الْأَئِمَّةُ ؟، قَالَ: أَمَا كَانَ لِقَوْمِكِ رُؤَسَاءُ وَأَشْرَافٌ، يَأْمُرُونَهُمْ فَيُطِيعُونَهُمْ ؟، قَالَتْ: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَهُمْ مِثْلُ أُولَئِكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ.
Qais bin Abi Hazim narrates that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) met a woman from the tribe of Ahmas whose name was Zainab. He saw that she was not speaking at all, so he asked: "What is the matter, why does she not speak?" It was said that she had made a vow to perform Hajj in silence. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Tell her to speak, this is not permissible, this is a custom from the days of ignorance." The narrator said: She then began to speak and asked: "Who are you?" He replied: "I am one of the Muhajirun." The woman asked: "From which tribe of the Muhajirun?" He said: "From the Quraysh." The woman inquired: "From which family of the Quraysh?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You are very inquisitive; I am Abu Bakr." She said: "After the age of ignorance, for how long will we be able to remain firm upon this religion that Allah Almighty has granted us?" He said: "You will remain firm upon this state as long as your leaders remain upright." She asked: "What is meant by leaders?" He said: "Are there not chiefs and nobles among your people, who when they give an order, the people follow them?" She said: "Yes, of course." He said: "There will be such (rulers) over the people."
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 215 to 218)
From this hadith, it is established that it is not necessary to fulfill such a vow (nadhar) in which there is hardship; rather, it can be broken by paying its expiation (kaffarah), just as in the hadith of Abu Isra’il, where the vow was to perform Hajj on foot, and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered him to break it and ride instead.
In this hadith, the humility and modesty of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) are evident, and it also indicates that as long as the leaders and rulers remain upright and righteous, blessings and goodness will continue to descend, and when dishonesty and deviation appear among them, then destruction will befall all.
And Allah knows best.
