Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى رَجُلٍ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا شَأْنُ هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقِيلَ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَصْنَعُ بِتَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ شَيْئًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Hafs reported to us; he said: My father narrated to me; he said: Ibrahim ibn Tahman narrated to me, from Yahya ibn Saʿid, from Humayd al-Tawil, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came upon a man being supported by his two sons. He asked, ‘What is the matter with him?’ They said, ‘He vowed to walk to the Kaʿbah.’ He said: ‘Allah gains nothing from this man’s making himself suffer.’ So he instructed him to ride.
