Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ وَهُوَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ قَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ.
English Translation
Yahya told us, from Humayd, from Thabit, from Anas, that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, passed by a man being supported between his two sons. They said, "He has vowed to walk." He said, "God, Mighty and Majestic, has no need for this man to torment himself," and he ordered him to ride.
