It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, a vow does not bring near to the son of Adam anything that Allah Almighty has not decreed for him; rather, the vow coincides with the divine decree, and in this way, through the vow, wealth is extracted from the miser which he did not (ordinarily, of his own will) want to give out." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this wording and context.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man vowed to pray in Bayt al-Maqdis. He asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Pray here," meaning in al-Masjid al-Haram. He said (again): O Messenger of Allah! I vowed to pray in Bayt al-Maqdis! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said (again): "Pray here." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
