Sunan an-Nasai 3847 (Book 35, Hadith 87) #18462
The Invalidity of Vows Made in Anger

SUMMARY: Making a vow to do something wrong or in anger is not valid and can be expiated with the same expiation as an oath.

It was narrated that 'Imran bin Husain said: The Messenger of Allah said: "There is no vow to commit an act of disobedience or at the time of anger, and its expiation is the expiation for an oath".
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ نَذْرَ فِي مَعْصِيَةٍ وَلاَ غَضَبٍ وَكَفَّارَتُهُ كَفَّارَةُ يَمِينٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that making a vow to do something wrong or at the time of anger is not valid and can be expiated with the same expiation as an oath. A vow is a promise made by someone to Allah, while an oath is a promise made by someone to another person. In this hadith, it was narrated by 'Imran bin Husain that Prophet Muhammad said that if someone makes a vow when they are angry or for something wrong, then it will not be accepted and they must make up for it with the same type of expiation as an oath. This means that if someone makes a false promise when they are angry, then they must make up for it in some way such as giving charity or fasting. It teaches us that we should think carefully before making any promises because we may regret them later on.
