Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ رَأَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلاً يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ مُرْهُ فَلْيَرْكَبْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Ibrahim reported to us; he said: Hammad ibn Masʿadah informed us, from Humayd, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a man being supported by two others. He asked, ‘What is this?’ They said, ‘He vowed to walk to the House of Allah.’ He said: ‘Allah has no need of this man’s making himself suffer. Tell him to ride.’
