Sahih Muslim Book: 27, Hadith: 4335

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ح. وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، – وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ – حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، حَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَىَ شَيْخًا يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ مَا بَالُ هَذَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ لَغَنِيٌّ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ ‏.‏ Anas reported that Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) saw an old man being supported between his two sons. He (the Holy Prophet) said:What is the matter with him? They said: He had taken the vow to walk (on foot to the Ka’ba). Thereupon he (Allah’s Apoitle) said: Allah is indifferent to his inflicting upon himself chastisement, and he commanded him to ride.
