Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لاَ نَذْرَ فِي مَعْصِيَةٍ وَلاَ نَذْرَ فِيمَا لاَ يَمْلِكُ ابْنُ آدَمَ " .
Translation
Sahl ibn Abi Sahl narrated to us; Sufyan ibn ʿUyaynah narrated to us; Ayyub narrated to us, from Abu Qilabah, from his paternal uncle, from ʿImran ibn al-Husayn, who said: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, ‘No vow is valid in an act of disobedience, nor concerning what a son of Adam does not possess.’
