12- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ مِثْلَهُ وَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يَا سَيِّدِي رَجُلٌ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَصُومَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ دَائِماً مَا بَقِيَ فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ يَوْمَ عِيدِ فِطْرٍ أَوْ أَضْحًى أَوْ أَيَّامَ التَّشْرِيقِ أَوِ السَّفَرَ أَوْ مَرِضَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ صَوْمُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَوْ قَضَاؤُهُ أَوْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ يَا سَيِّدِي فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ قَدْ وَضَعَ اللهُ عَنْهُ الصِّيَامَ فِي هَذِهِ الأيَّامِ كُلِّهَا وَيَصُومُ يَوْماً بَدَلَ يَوْمٍ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ وَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يَسْأَلُهُ

Hadith 858
13. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Sulayman ibn Dawud from Hafs ibn Ghiyath who has narrated the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the expiation because of a vow and commitment. He (the Imam) said, ‘Kaffarah (expiation) for a vow and commitment is like the expiation because of an oath. If one makes a vow and commitment to offer an animal for sacrifice he must find a camel, he must mark and collar it and stay with it in ‘Arafah. If one makes a vow and commitment to offer a Jazur, (a certain kind of camel) then he can slaughter by manner of Nahr (slaughtering from the upper part of the chest) wherever he wants.’”
13- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ كَفَّارَةِ النَّذْرِ فَقَالَ كَفَّارَةُ النَّذْرِ كَفَّارَةُ الْيَمِينِ وَمَنْ نَذَرَ هَدْياً فَعَلَيْهِ نَاقَةٌ يُقَلِّدُهَا وَيُشْعِرُهَا وَيَقِفُ بِهَا بِعَرَفَةَ وَمَنْ نَذَرَ جَزُوراً فَحَيْثُ شَاءَ نَحَرَهُ.

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُلُّ مَنْ عَجَزَ عَنْ نَذْرٍ نَذَرَهُ فَكَفَّارَتُهُ كَفَّارَةُ يَمِينٍ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I have made a vow and commitment to walk to the House of Allah.

18- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ السِّنْدِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي إِنِّي جَعَلْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي مَشْياً إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ قَالَ كَفِّرْ يَمِينَكَ فَإِنَّمَا جَعَلْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ يَمِيناً وَمَا جَعَلْتَهُ للهِ فَفِ بِهِ.
