Arabic text

3807 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ نَذَرَ أَنْ يُطِيعَ اللَّهَ فَلْيُطِعْهُ، وَمَنْ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَعْصِيَ اللَّهَ فَلَا يَعْصِهِ»

Commentary

Disobedience is reprehensible in all conditions, and indulging in disobedience after having taken a vow is further ignominious. Taking a vow does not transform an evil deed into a good deed. Therefore, disobeying Allāh, Most High, by using vows as an excuse, shall not be good. On the contrary, it would be considered a graver offence.
