(23) باب مَنْ رَأَى عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةً إِذَا كَانَ فِي مَعْصِيَةٍ
Narrated Anas b. Malik :
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw a man that he was supported between his sons. He asked about him, and (the people) said: He has taken a vow to walk (on foot). Thereupon he said: Allah has no need that this man should punish himself, and he ordered him to ride.Abu Dawud said: 'Amr b. Abi 'Amir has also narrated a similar tradition from al-A'raj on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (ﷺ). (PT)
