Sunan Abi Dawud 3315 (Book 22, Hadith 74) #23605
Fulfilling Vows of Mothers

SUMMARY: The hadith is about fulfilling a vow taken by one's mother.

A similar tradition has also been transmitted in brief by Maimunah daughter of Kardam son of Sufyan on the authority of her father through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: (The Prophet asked): Does it contain an idol or was a festival of pre-Islamic times celebrated there ? He replied: #I said: This mother of mine has taken a vow and walking (is binding on her). May I fulfill it on her behalf ? Sometimes the narrator Bashshar said: May we fulfill in on her behalf ? He said: Yes.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ كَرْدَمِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، نَحْوَهُ مُخْتَصَرٌ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ هَلْ بِهَا وَثَنٌ أَوْ عِيدٌ مِنْ أَعْيَادِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏:‏ لاَ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ ‏:‏ إِنَّ أُمِّي هَذِهِ عَلَيْهَا نَذْرٌ وَمَشْىٌ أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ‏:‏ أَنَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of fulfilling the vows taken by one's mother. It is narrated that Prophet Muhammad asked if there was an idol or a festival from pre-Islamic times in the place where the vow was taken. When it was confirmed that it was only a vow made by his mother, he allowed for it to be fulfilled on her behalf. This hadith teaches us to respect and honor our mothers and fulfill their wishes whenever possible. We should also remember that we are responsible for our own actions and should not take part in any activities related to idols or festivals from pre-Islamic times as they are forbidden in Islam.
