Narrator:Abu Hurayrah

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏

لاَ يَأْتِي ابْنَ آدَمَ النَّذْرُ بِشَىْءٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ قُدِّرَ لَهُ، وَلَكِنْ يُلْقِيهِ النَّذْرُ إِلَى الْقَدَرِ قَدْ قُدِّرَ لَهُ، فَيَسْتَخْرِجُ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ، فَيُؤْتِي عَلَيْهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤْتِي عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ ‏"

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says, 'The vow, does not bring about for the son of Adam anything I have not decreed for him, but his vow may coincide with what has been decided for him, and by this way I cause a miser to spend of his wealth. So he gives Me (spends in charity) for the fulfillment of what has been decreed for him what he would not give Me before but for his vow."

Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 6694, 6609), Abu Dawud (No. 3288), Ibn Majah (No. 2123) and Ahmad (No. 7805).

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani — Fath al-Bari

قَوْلُهُ فِي حَدِيث أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ( لَا يَأْتِي اِبْنَ آدَمَ النَّذْرُ بِشَيْءٍ ) اِبْن آدَم بِالنَّصْبِ مَفْعُولٌ مُقَدَّمٌ وَالنَّذْرُ بِالرَّفْعِ هُوَ الْفَاعِلُ. قَوْله ( لَمْ أَكُنْ قَدَّرْته ) هَذَا مِنْ الْأَحَادِيث الْقُدْسِيَّة لَكِنْ سَقَطَ مِنْهُ التَّصْرِيح بِنِسْبَتِهِ إِلَى اللَّه عَزَّ وَجَلَّ , وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فِي رِوَايَة اِبْن الْعَبْد عَنْهُ مِنْ رِوَايَة مَالِك , وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَابْن مَاجَهْ مِنْ رِوَايَة سُفْيَان الثَّوْرِيِّ كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَاد , وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِم مِنْ رِوَايَة عَمْرو بْن أُبَيّ , وَعُمَر عَنْ الْأَعْرَج , وَتَقَدَّمَ فِي أَوَاخِر كِتَاب الْقَدَر مِنْ طَرِيق هَمَّام عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة وَلَفْظه " لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدَّرْته…

Authentic Sahih al-Bukhari 6609

The Prophet (ﷺ) said (that Allah said), "Vowing does not bring to the son of Adam anything I have not already written in his fate, but vowing is imposed on him by way of fore ordainment. Through vowing I make a miser spend of his wealth."

لاَ يَأْتِي ابْنَ آدَمَ النَّذْرُ بِشَىْءٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ قَدَّرْتُهُ، وَلَكِنْ يُلْقِيهِ الْقَدَرُ وَقَدْ قَدَّرْتُهُ لَهُ، أَسْتَخْرِجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ ‏"

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

Authentic Sunan Abu Dawud 3288

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: A vow does not provide for the son of Adam anything which I did not decree for him, but a vow draws it. A Divine decree is one which I have destined, it is extracted from a miser. He is given what he was not given before.

‏ لاَ يَأْتِي ابْنَ آدَمَ النَّذْرُ الْقَدَرَ بِشَىْءٍ لَمْ أَكُنْ قَدَّرْتُهُ لَهُ، وَلَكِنْ يُلْقِيهِ النَّذْرُ الْقَدَرَ قَدَّرْتُهُ يُسْتَخْرَجُ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ يُؤْتَى عَلَيْهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يُؤْتَى مِنْ قَبْلُ ‏"

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

Authentic Sunan Ibn Majah 2123

"Vows do not bring the son of Adam anything unless it has been decreed for him. But he is dominated by Divine preordainment, and will get what is decreed for him. And (vows) are a means of making the miser give something, so what he desires becomes obtainable for him, which was not obtainable…

"‏ إِنَّ النَّذْرَ لاَ يَأْتِي ابْنَ آدَمَ بِشَىْءٍ إِلاَّ مَا قُدِّرَ لَهُ وَلَكِنْ يَغْلِبُهُ الْقَدَرُ مَا قُدِّرَ لَهُ فَيُسْتَخْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ فَيَتَيَسَّرُ عَلَيْهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَتَيَسَّرُ عَلَيْهِ…

Authentic Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sunan Abu Dawud 3287

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade to make a vow. He said: It has not effect against fate, it is only from the miserly that it is means by which something is extracted. Musaddad said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: A vow does not avert anything (i.e. has no effect against fate).

‏ ‏"‏ لاَ يَرُدُّ شَيْئًا، وَإِنَّمَا يُسْتَخْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ ‏"

Narrated by Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar + 11 other versions

Authentic Sahih Muslim 1640c

The vow does not bring anything near to the son of Adam which Allah has not ordained for him, but (at times) the vow coincides with Destiny, and this is how something is extracted from the miserly person, which that miser was not willing to give.

النَّذْرَ لاَ يُقَرِّبُ مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَكُنِ اللَّهُ قَدَّرَهُ لَهُ وَلَكِنِ النَّذْرُ يُوَافِقُ الْقَدَرَ فَيُخْرَجُ بِذَلِكَ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنِ الْبَخِيلُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ ‏"
