Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about a matter. He said: My mother has passed away and she had a vow upon her. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Fulfill the vow on her behalf.

Narrated Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade making vows and said that vows do not bring anything back; vows only extract wealth from a miserly person’s heart.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A vow does not give a person anything that is not already destined for him, rather, a vow brings a person closer to what is destined for him. However, through it, Allah extracts wealth from the miser, and in this way, he gives charity of things which could not have been expected from him before.

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saw an old man walking with the support of his two sons. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, "What is the matter with this man?" The people informed him that he had vowed to walk to the Ka'bah on foot. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Allah is free from needing this man to put himself in hardship." The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered him to ride.

Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that my sister had made a vow to go to the House of Allah on foot. Then she asked me to inquire about it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). So I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he said: She should walk and also ride.
