Anas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw an old man walking with the support of his two sons. The Prophet said, “What is the matter with this man?” They said, “He has vowed to walk to the Ka’bah.” The Prophet said, “Allah does not need this man to torture himself,” and he ordered him to ride on a mount.

عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى شَيْخًا يُهَادَى بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُ هَذَا قَالُوا نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ (إلى الكعبة) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَنْ تَعْذِيبِ هَذَا نَفْسَهُ لَغَنِيٌّ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْكَبَ
