English translation

3885. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to a man who was being supported by two others and said: 'What is the matter with him?' It was said: 'He vowed to walk to the Ka'bah.' He said: 'Allāh does not benefit from his torturing himself.' And he told him to ride." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

3854 - 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 صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «مَا شَأْنُ هَذَا؟» فَقِيلَ: نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَصْنَعُ بِتَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ شَيْئًا، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ»

Commentary

'(Allāh's Messenger ﷺ) commanded him' because he was incapable of walking. The one who is able to walk should walk. If one is rendered incapable, then he should ride and perform the expiation.
