Hadith #172
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَسَرَهَا الْعَدُوُّ وَقَدْ كَانُوا أَصَابُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ نَاقَةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَرَأَتْ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ غَفْلَةً قَالَ فَرَكِبَتْ نَاقَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ جَعَلَتْ عَلَيْهَ
ا أَنْ تَنْحَرَهَا قَالَ فَقَدِمَتْ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَنْحَرَ نَاقَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمُنِعَتْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ بِئْسَمَا جَزَيْتِيهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا نَذْرَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ فِيمَا لَا يَمْلِكُ وَلَا فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى

English Translation
Hushaym narrated to us: Mansūr informed us, from al-Hasan, from ‘Imrān ibn Husayn, that a Muslim woman was captured by the enemy. They had previously seized a she-camel belonging to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. She saw the people in a moment of inattention, so she mounted the she-camel of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. She made a vow to Allāh that if He saved her, she would slaughter the camel. When she arrived in Madinah, she wanted to slaughter the she-camel of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, but she was prevented. The matter was mentioned to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, who said: What a terrible way to repay her! Then he said: There is no vow for the son of Ādam regarding what he does not own, nor in disobedience to Allāh — blessed and exalted is He.
