Sunan Abi Dawud 3295 (Book 22, Hadith 54) #23585
Performing Hajj with Ease

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised a man to let his sister perform Hajj riding instead of walking, as Allah does not benefit from the affliction she imposed on herself.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man came to Prophet and said: Messenger of Allah, my sister has taken a vow to perform hajj on foot. The Prophet said: Allah gets no good from the affliction your sister imposed on herself, so let her perform hajj riding and make atonement for her oath.
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، مَوْلَى آلِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ ‏:‏ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ ‏:‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُخْتِي نَذَرَتْ - يَعْنِي - أَنْ تَحُجَّ مَاشِيَةً ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَصْنَعُ بِشَقَاءِ أُخْتِكَ شَيْئًا، فَلْتَحُجَّ رَاكِبَةً وَلْتُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about performing the pilgrimage of Hajj. It was narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas that a man came to the Prophet and told him that his sister had taken a vow to perform hajj on foot. The Prophet advised him to let her perform hajj riding instead, as Allah does not benefit from the affliction she imposed on herself and suggested for her to make atonement for her oath. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our vows and promises, but if it becomes too difficult or burdensome then we can seek an alternative solution in order to fulfill our obligations while still being mindful of Allah's will. We should also remember that Allah does not benefit from any hardship or suffering we impose upon ourselves; rather He wants us to live life with ease and comfort so long as it is within His boundaries.
