Sahih Muslim 1642
Sahih Muslim · Book 26: The Book of Vows · One Who Vows To Walk To The Ka'bah
Anas reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) saw an old man being supported between his two sons. He (the Holy Prophet) said:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، ح. وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَىَ شَيْخًا يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ " مَا بَالُ هَذَا " . قَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ . قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ لَغَنِيٌّ " . وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ .
What is the matter with him? They said: He had taken the vow to walk (on foot to the Ka'ba). Thereupon he (Allah's Apoitle) said: Allah is indifferent to his inflicting upon himself chastisement, and he commanded him to ride.
