Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تَنْذِرُوا فَإِنَّ النَّذْرَ لاَ يُغْنِي مِنَ الْقَدَرِ شَيْئًا وَإِنَّمَا يُسْتَخْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ " .
Translation
Qutaybah reported to us; he said: ʿAbd al-ʿAziz narrated to us, from al-ʿAlaʾ, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Do not make vows, for a vow cannot avert anything decreed. It is only a means by which something is extracted from a miser.’
