Jami at-Tirmidhi 1536 (Book 20, Hadith 14) #27136
Riding Instead of Walking to the House of Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised a woman to ride instead of walking to the House of Allah, as Allah is in no need of her walking.

Narrated Anas: "A Woman vowed to walk to the House of Allah, so the Prophet asked about that, and he said: 'Verily Allah is in no need of her walking, order her to ride'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَطَّارُ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ الْقَطَّانِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ نَذَرَتِ امْرَأَةٌ أَنْ تَمْشِيَ، إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ فَسُئِلَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنْ مَشْيِهَا مُرُوهَا فَلْتَرْكَبْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ وَقَالُوا إِذَا نَذَرَتِ امْرَأَةٌ أَنْ تَمْشِيَ فَلْتَرْكَبْ وَلْتُهْدِ شَاةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrated by Anas ibn Malik tells us that when a woman vowed to walk to the House of Allah, the Prophet asked about it and advised her to ride instead. This hadith teaches us that we should not make vows that are too difficult for us or beyond our capabilities. It also teaches us that we should not overestimate our own abilities and underestimate God's power. We should remember that God is in no need for anything from us, so we should be careful with what we vow and promise. We can still fulfill our promises but in ways which are more manageable for ourselves and do not put too much strain on ourselves.
