In the time of the Prophet (ﷺ) a man took a vow to slaughter a camel at Buwanah. So he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: I have taken a vow to sacrifice a camel at Buwanah.
The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: Did the place contain any idol worshipped in pre-Islamic times?
They (the people) said: No.
He asked: Was any pre-Islamic festival observed there?
They replied: No.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Fulfil your vow, for a vow to do an act of disobedience to Allah must not be fulfilled, neither must one do something over which a human being has no control.

## Hadith #3314

**Book:** Oaths and Vows (Kitab Al-Aiman Wa Al-Nudhur) | **Narrator(s):** Abdul Hameed bin Ja'far عبد الحميد بن جعفر بن عبد الله, Abu Bakr al-Hanfi عبد الكبير بن عبد المجيد- أبو بكر الحنفي, Amr bin Shu'aib bin Muhammad عمرو بن شعيب بن محمد السهمي, Kardam bin Sufyan al-Thaqafi, Maymuna bin Kardam, Muhammad bin Bashar Bindar محمد بن بشار بندار | **Grade:** Sahih

I went out with my father to see the hajj performed by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). 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 (ﷺ) 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.
