إِنَّ أُمِّي كَانَتْ جَعَلَتْ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا لِلَّهِ عَلَيْهَا نَذْراً إِنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ رَدَّ عَلَيْهَا بَعْضَ وُلْدِهَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ كَانَتْ تَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ تَصُومَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي يَقْدَمُ فِيهِ مَا بَقِيَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ مَعَنَا مُسَافِرَةً إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَأَشْكَلَ عَلَيْنَا لَمْ نَدْرِ أَ تَصُومُ أَمْ تُفْطِرُ فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَ أَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا جَعَلَتْ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا فَقَالَ لَا تَصُومُ فِي السَّفَرِ قَدْ وَضَعَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا حَقَّهُ وَ تَصُومُ هِيَ مَا جَعَلَتْ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا تَرَى إِذَا هِيَ قَدِمَتْ وَ تَرَكَتْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَرَى فِي الَّذِي نَذَرَتْ مَا تَكْرَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara who said, ‘My mother had made it upon herself for the Sake of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, a vow that if Allah<sup>azwj</sup> were to Return one of her children from something which she had feared upon, she would be Fasting that day in which he comes back, for as long as she remained. So she went out with us on a journey to Makkah. So it became doubtful upon us. We did not know whether she should be Fasting or breaking. So I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about that, and I informed him with what she had made it to be upon herself. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘She should not be Fasting during the journey. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Exempted it from her His<sup>azwj</sup> Right, and she should be Fasting what she has made it to be upon herself’. He (the narrator) said, ‘What is your<sup>asws</sup> view when she returns and neglects that?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> fear that she might see in that which she had vowed, what she dislikes’.
