Chapter: No Vow in Disobedience to Allah
Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith 2375
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْأَيْلِيِّ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَنْ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَطِيعَ اللَّهَ، فَلْيُطِعْهُ، وَمَنْ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَعْصِيَ اللَّهَ، فَلَا يَعْصِهِ".
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever makes a vow to obey Allah should obey Him, and whoever makes a vow to disobey Allah should not commit the sinful act.”
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2374)
From this hadith, it is understood that whoever makes a vow (nadhar) in obedience to Allah—such as for prayer (salah), fasting (sawm), pilgrimage (hajj), minor pilgrimage (‘umrah), jihad, etc.—then he should fulfill that vow. And whoever makes a vow to disobey Allah, then he should not commit disobedience to Allah; that is, if he says that he will not pray, or will not keep obligatory fasts, etc., then in such a case, it is not necessary to fulfill that vow. Rather, obedience to Allah is necessary, and he should offer expiation (kaffarah) for his vow, as has been detailed above.
