حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَدْرَكَ شَيْخًا يَمْشِي بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا شَأْنُ هَذَا الشَّيْخِ؟ " قَالَ ابْنَاهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَانَ عَلَيْهِ نَذْرٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: " ارْكَبْ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ غَنِيٌّ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ نَذْرِكَ " (١)،

English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) saw an elderly man walking between his two sons, taking their support. He asked, "What is the matter with this elder? (Why does he not ride?)" His sons replied, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he had made a vow (and to fulfill it, he is not riding)." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O elder! Ride. Allah is greater and more free of need than you and your vow (He will accept it)."
