Sunan an-Nasai 3805 (Book 35, Hadith 45) #18420
The Impact of Vows on Destiny

SUMMARY: Making vows does not change one's destiny, but it can be a way of taking money from the stingy.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "Do not make vows, for a vow does not have any impact on the Qadar. Rather it is just a means of taking wealth from the miserly".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَنْذِرُوا فَإِنَّ النَّذْرَ لاَ يُغْنِي مِنَ الْقَدَرِ شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا يُسْتَخْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ
