Think carefully before making any promises or commitments you may not be able to keep in the future.

This hadith explains that making vows is discouraged by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. A vow is a promise made to Allah or another person, and it does not prevent anything from happening. However, if someone makes a vow and then breaks it, they may have to pay money as compensation for breaking their promise. This could be especially difficult for someone who is already very poor or stingy with their money - known as a miser - because they would have to give away some of their property in order to fulfill the vow. Therefore, this hadith serves as an important reminder that we should think carefully before making any promises or commitments that we may not be able to keep in the future.
