While performing the Tawaf around the Ka`ba, the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a person leading another person
by a hair-rope nose-ring in his nose. The Prophet (ﷺ) cut the hair-rope nose-ring off with his hand and
ordered the man to lead him by the hand.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever vowed to be obedient to Allah, must be obedient to Him; and whoever
vowed to be disobedient to Allah, should not be disobedient to Him.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah is not in need of this man) torturing himself,” when he saw the man walking
between his two sons (who were supporting him).

that he consulted the Prophet (ﷺ) about a vow that had been made by his mother who died without
fulfilling it. The Prophet (ﷺ) gave his verdict that he should fulfill it on her behalf. The verdict became
Sunna (i.e. the Prophet’s tradition).

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said to him, “My sister vowed to perform the Hajj, but she died
(before fulfilling it).” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Would you not have paid her debts if she had any?” The man
said, “Yes.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “So pay Allah’s Rights, as He is more entitled to receive His rights.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever vows that he will be obedient to Allah, should remain obedient to Him;
and whoever made a vow that he will disobey Allah, should not disobey Him.”

`Umar said “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I vowed to perform I`tikaf for one night in Al-Masjid-al-Haram,
during the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance (before embracing Islam). “The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Fulfill your
vow.” Ibn `Umar said to the lady, “Pray on her behalf.” Ibn `Abbas said the same.

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.”

`Imran bin Hussain said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘The best of you (people) are my generation, and the
second best will be those who will follow them, and then those who will follow the second
generation.” `Imran added, “I do not remember whether he mentioned two or three (generations) after
his generation. He added, ‘Then will come some people who will make vows but will not fulfill them;
and they will be dishonest and will not be trustworthy, and they will give their witness without being
asked to give their witness, and fatness will appear among them.’ ”

that he heard Ibn `Umar saying, “Weren’t people forbidden to make vows?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘A vow
neither hastens nor delays anything, but by the making of vows, some of the wealth of a miser is taken
out.”
