Sunan Abi Dawud 3273 (Book 22, Hadith 32) #23563
The Binding Nature of Vows

SUMMARY: Making a vow is binding if it is done to seek the pleasure of Allah, but an oath to break ties of relationship is not binding.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Messenger of Allah said: A vow is binding in those things by which the pleasure of Allah is sought, and an oath to break ties of relationship is not binding.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ لاَ نَذْرَ إِلاَّ فِيمَا يُبْتَغَى بِهِ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ، وَلاَ يَمِينَ فِي قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ

This hadith teaches us that we should be careful when making promises and pledges as they are taken seriously by God. We should also strive to maintain strong relationships with our family members and friends, even if we have disagreements or arguments. It also encourages us to think twice before taking any action that could potentially harm our relationships with others.
