Abu Dawood
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ كَرْدَمِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، نَحْوَهُ مُخْتَصَرٌ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏‏ هَلْ بِهَا وَثَنٌ أَوْ عِيدٌ مِنْ أَعْيَادِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏:‏ لاَ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ ‏:‏ إِنَّ أُمِّي هَذِهِ عَلَيْهَا نَذْرٌ وَمَشْىٌ أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ‏:‏ أَنَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏"
A similar tradition has also been transmitted in brief by Maimunah daughter of Kardam son of Sufyan on the authority of her father through a different chain of narrators. This version adds:
(The Prophet asked): Does it contain an idol or was a festival of pre-Islamic times celebrated there ? He replied: No. I said: This mother of mine has taken a vow and walking (is binding on her). May I fulfill it on her behalf ? Sometimes the narrator Bashshar said: May we fulfill in on her behalf ? He said: Yes.
