Jami at-Tirmidhi 2633 (Book 40, Hadith 28) #28268
Keeping Promises without Punishment

SUMMARY: Making a promise and not fulfilling it does not require any form of punishment.

Narrated Zaid bin Arqam: that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whenever a man makes a promise and he intends to fulfill it, but he does not fulfill it, then there is no burden upon him".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي النُّعْمَانِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا وَعَدَ الرَّجُلُ وَيَنْوِي أَنْ يَفِيَ بِهِ فَلَمْ يَفِ بِهِ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيِّ ‏.‏ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ثِقَةٌ وَلاَ يُعْرَفُ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ وَلاَ أَبُو وَقَّاصٍ وَهُمَا مَجْهُولاَنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of keeping promises. It teaches us that if we make a promise, we should try our best to fulfill it. However, if for some reason we are unable to keep our promise, then there is no burden or punishment upon us for not doing so. This hadith encourages people to be honest and sincere in their words and actions, as well as reminding them that they should only make promises they can keep. It also teaches us that even if someone fails to fulfill their promise, they should still be forgiven and given another chance instead of being punished for it. The Prophet Muhammad's teachings remind us that everyone makes mistakes sometimes but this doesn't mean they should be harshly judged or punished for them; rather, people should be given the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and move on with life without feeling guilty or ashamed about them.

The values taught in this hadith include honesty, sincerity, forgiveness and understanding towards others who may have made mistakes in the past but are willing to learn from them and do better in the future. It also reminds us of the importance of keeping our word when making promises so as not to let down those who trust us with our words.
