Home Hadith Hadith 34797
Yahya related to me from Malik that Urwa ibn Udhayna al-Laythi
said, "I went out with my grandmother who had vowed to walk to the
House of Allah. When we had gone part of the way, she could not go on.
I sent one of her mawlas to question Abdullah ibn Umar and I went with
him. He asked Abdullah ibn Umar, and Abdullah ibn Umar said to him,
'Take her and let her ride, and when she has the strength let her ride
back, and start to walk from the place from which she was unable to go
on.'~
Muwatta Malik Book 22, Hadith 4

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abi Habiba said,
"I said to a man, when I was young, 'A man who only says that he must
walk to the House of Allah and does not say that he has vowed to walk,
does not have to walk.' A man said, 'Shall I give you this small
cucumber?' and he had a small cucumber in his hand and you will say,
'I must walk to the house of Allah?' I said, 'Yes' and I said it, for
at that time I was still immature. Then, when I came of age, some one
said to me that I had to fulfill my vow. I went and asked Said ibn al-
Musayyab about it, and he said to me, 'You must walk.' So I walked."

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "I vowed
to walk, but I was struck by a pain in the kidney, so I rode until I
came to Makka. I questioned Ata ibn Abi Rabah and others, and they
said, 'You must sacrifice an animal.' When I came to Madina I
questioned the ulama there, and they ordered me to walk again from the
place from which I was unable to go on. So I walked."
