وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - عَنْ عَمْرٍو - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِى عَمْرٍو - عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَدْرَكَ شَيْخًا يَمْشِى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « مَا شَأْنُ هَذَا ». قَالَ ابْنَاهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ نَذْرٌ. فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « ارْكَبْ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنْكَ وَعَنْ نَذْرِكَ ». وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ وَابْنِ حُجْرٍ.
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (s.a.w) caught up with an old man who was walking between his two sons, leaning on them. The Prophet (s.a.w) said: "What is the matter with him?" His sons said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, he made a vow." The Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Ride, O old man, for Allah has no need of you and your vow."

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
