1527. Thābit bin Aḏ-Ḍaḥḥāk narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "It is not for a person to vow about that over which he has no control." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr and 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
١٥٢٧ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَزْرَقُ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ عَلَى الْعَبْدِ نَذْرٌ فِيمَا لَا يَمْلِكُ» وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

It is not allowed to take vow about something which does not belong to the person taking the vow. For example saying that if Allāh cures him from the aliment he will manumit that particular slave which actually is not his property, or he will give that amount in charity which he does not have.
