Narrated Muawiyah bin al-Hakam al-Sulami: I said: Messenger of Allah, I have a slave girl whom I slapped. This grieved the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . I said to him: Should I not emancipate her? He said: Bring her to me. He said: Then I brought her. He asked: Where is Allah ? She replied: In the heaven. He said: Who am I ? She replied: You are the Messenger of Allah. He said: Emancipate her, she is a believer.

Narrated Ash-Sharid ibn Suwayd ath-Thaqafi: Sharid's mother left a will to emancipate a believing slave on her behalf. So he came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said: Messenger of Allah, my mother left a will that I should emancipate a believing slave for her, and I have a black Nubian slave-girl. He mentioned a tradition about the test of the girl. Abu Dawud said: Khalid bin Abdullah narrated this tradition direct from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . He did not mention the name of al-Sharid.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: A man brought the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم a black slave girl. He said: Messenger of Allah, emancipation of believing slave is due to me. He asked her: Where is Allah ? She pointed to the heaven with her finger. He then asked her: Who am I ? She pointed to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and to the heaven, that is to say: You are the Messenger of Allah. He then said: Set her free, she is a believer.

Narrated Ikrimah ibn Abu Jahl: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraysh; I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraysh; I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraysh. He then said: "If Allah wills. " Abu Dawud said: A number of persons have narrated this tradition from Sharik, from Simak, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas who reported from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم : "But he did not fight against them. "

Narrated Ikrimah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. The then said: If Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish if Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. He then kept silence. Then he said: If Allah wills. Abu Dawud said: Al-Walid bin Muslim said on the authority of Sharik: He then said: But he did not fight against them.

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم forbade to make a vow. He said: It has not effect against fate, it is only from the miserly that it is means by which something is extracted. Musaddad said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: A vow does not avert anything (i. e. has no effect against fate).

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: A vow does not provide for the son of Adam anything which I did not decree for him, but a vow draws it. A Divine decree is one which I have destined, it is extracted from a miser. He is given what he was not given before.

Narrated Aishah: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: If anyone vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him, but if anyone vows to disobey Him, let him not disobey Him.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: No vow must be taken to do an act of disobedience, and the atonement for it is the same as for an oath.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by al-Zuhri through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Shabbuyah say: Ibn al-Mubarak said about this tradition that Abu Salamah had transmitted it. This indicates that al-Zuhri did not hear it from Abu Salamah. Ahmad bin Muhammad said: This is verified by what Ayyub bin Sulaiman narrated to us. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal say: I have corrupted this tradition for us. He was asked: Do you think that it is correct that this tradition has been corrupted? Has any person other than Ibn Abi Uwais transmitted it ? He replied: Ayyub was similar to him in respect of reliability, and Ayyub transmitted it.
