حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی عَنْ أَبِي النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا وَعَدَ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ وَمِنْ نِيَّتِهِ أَنْ يَفِيَ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَفِ وَلَمْ يَجِئْ لِلْمِيعَادِ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4995
Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: The Prophet ﷺ said: When a man makes a promise to his brother with the intention of fulfilling it and does not do so, and does not come at the appointed time, he is guilty of no sin.
