إِنَّ أُمِّي كَانَتْ جَعَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا نَذْراً نَذَرَتْ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي بَعْضِ وُلْدِهَا فِي شَيْءٍ كَانَتْ تَخَافُهُ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ تَصُومَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي تَقَدَّمَ فِيهِ عَلَيْهَا مَا بَقِيَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ مَعَنَا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَأَشْكَلَ عَلَيْنَا صِيَامُهَا فِي السَّفَرِ فَلَمْ تَدْرِ تَصُومُ أَوْ تُفْطِرُ فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَا تَصُومُ فِي السَّفَرِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ وَضَعَ عَنْهَا حَقَّهُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ تَصُومُ هِيَ مَا جَعَلَتْ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَمَا ذَا إِذَا قَدِمَتْ إِنْ تَرَكَتْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَا إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَرَى فِي وَلَدِهَا الَّذِي نَذَرَتْ فِيهِ بَعْضَ مَا تَكْرَهُ.

24. Ali has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Zurarah who has narrated the following: “My mother had made a vow and commitment. She had made a commitment for Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, about one of her children because of fear of something for him. She said that from that day on, she will fast all the time as long as she lives. She came out with us to Makkah, her fasting on the journey made us face questions, and she did not know if she must fast or not. I asked abu Ja’far (a.s.), about it and he (the Imam) said, ‘She must not fast on a journey. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has exempted her from His right during a journey; but she must fast otherwise for what she has committed herself to.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if she ignores her commitment? He (the Imam) said, ‘No, I fear that she may experience in her child that which made her to form such commitment.’”
