أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشَيْخٍ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ " مَا بَالُ هَذَا " . قَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ . قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ مُرْهُ فَلْيَرْكَبْ " . فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ .
