Narrated Maymunah, daughter of Kardam: I went out with my father to see the hajj performed by the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. I fixed my eyes on him. My father came near him while he was riding his she-camel. He had a whip like the whip of scribes. I heard the bedouin and the people say: The whip, the whip. My father came near him and held his foot. She said: He admitted his Prophethood and stood and listened to him. He said: Messenger of Allah, I have made a vow that if a son is born to me, I shall slaughter a number of sheep at the end of Buwanah in the dale of hill. The narrator said: I do not know (for certain) that she said: Fifty (sheep). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Does it contain any idol? He said: No. Then he said: Fulfil your vow that you have taken for Allah. He then gathered them (i. e. the sheep) and began to slaughter them. A sheep ran away from them. He searched for it saying: O Allah, fulfil my vow on my behalf. So he succeeded (in finding it) and slaughtered it.

Imran bin Husain said: Adba belonged to a man of Banu Aqil. It used to go ahead of pligrims. The man was then captivated. He was brought in chains to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was riding on a donkey with a blanket on him. He said: Muhammad, why do you arrest me and capture the one (i. e. the she-camel) which goes ahead of the pilgrims. He replied: We are arresting you on account of the crime committed by your allies Thaqid. Thaqif captivated two persons from among the Companions of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He said (whatever he said) I am a Muslim, or he said: I have embraced Islam. When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم went ahead, he called him: O Muhammed, O Muhammed. Abu Dawud said: I learnt it from the version of the narrator Muhammad bin 'Isa. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was compassionate and kind hearted. So he returned to him, and asked: What is the matter with you ? He replied: I am a Muslim. He said: Had you said it when the matter was in your hand, you would have succeeded completely. Abu Dawud said: I then returned to the version of the narrator Sulaiman (b. Harb). He said: Muhammad, I am hungry, so feed me. I am thirsty, so give me water. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: This is your need, or he said: This is his need (the narrator is doubtful). Later on the man was taken back (by Thaqif) as a ransom for the two men (of the Companions of the Prophet). The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم retained Adba for his journey. The narrator said: The polytheists raided the pasturing animals of Madina and they took away Adba. When they took away Adba, they also captivated a Muslim woman. They used to leave their camels in the fields for rest at night. One night they slept and the (Muslim) woman stood up. Any camel on which she put her hand brayed until she came to Adba. She came to a she-camel which was docile and experienced. She then rode on her and vowed to Allah that if He saved her, she would sacrifice it. When she came to Madina, the people recognized the she-camel of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was then informed about it and he sent for her. She was brought to him and she informed him about her vow. He said: It is a bad return that you have given it. Allah has not saved you, on its (back) that you now sacrifice it. A vow to do an act of disobedience must not be fulfilled, or to do something over which one has no control. Abu Dawud said: This woman was the wife of Abu Dharr.
