كَانَتْ عِنْدِي جَارِيَةٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَارْتَفَعَ طَمْثُهَا فَجَعَلْتُ لِلَّهِ عَلَيَّ نَذْراً إِنْ هِيَ حَاضَتْ فَعَلِمْتُ بَعْدُ أَنَّهَا حَاضَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ النَّذْرَ فَكَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَجَابَنِي إِنْ كَانَتْ حَاضَتْ قَبْلَ النَّذْرِ فَلَا عَلَيْكَ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ حَاضَتْ بَعْدَ النَّذْرِ فَعَلَيْكَ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Jameel Bin Salih who said, ‘There used to be a slave girl with me at Al-Medina, so her menstruations were raised (stopped). So I made a vow upon myself for the Sake of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> if she were to menstruate. So I came to know afterwards that she had menstruated before I had made the (specifics of the) vow. So I wrote to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and I was at Al Medina. So he<sup>asws</sup> answered me: ‘If she has menstruated before the vow, so it is not upon you, and if she has menstruated after the vow, so it is upon you’.
