Sunan an-Nasai 3845 (Book 35, Hadith 85) #18460
The Types of Vows

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that there are two types of vows, one which is an act of obedience to Allah and must be fulfilled, and the other which is an act of disobedience to Allah and should not be fulfilled.

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Az-Zubair, from his father, from a man from the inhabitants of Al-Basrah, who said: "I accompanied 'Imran bin Husain, who said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: Vows are of two types: A vow that is made to do an act of obedience to Allah; that is for Allah and must be fulfilled, and a vow that is made to do an act of disobedience to Allah; that is for Shaitan and should not be fulfilled, and its expiation is the expiation for an oath'."
أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ قَالَ صَحِبْتُ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ النَّذْرُ نَذْرَانِ فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ نَذْرٍ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ فَذَلِكَ لِلَّهِ وَفِيهِ الْوَفَاءُ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ نَذْرٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ فَذَلِكَ لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَلاَ وَفَاءَ فِيهِ وَيُكَفِّرُهُ مَا يُكَفِّرُ الْيَمِينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that when making a vow or pledge, it can either be an act of obedience or disobedience to Allah. If it is an act of obedience then it must be fulfilled as this pleases Allah. However if it is an act of disobedience then it should not be fulfilled as this displeases Allah and requires expiation in order for forgiveness. It teaches us that we should always strive to make pledges that are pleasing to God so we can receive His blessings in return.
