Question:
Regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is the intended meaning of “good” in worldly matters, or that its outcome is not good?
Answer:
It encompasses that it does not bring about good, neither[Ghafir 40:43]. The good is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); it is not that good is obtained because of the vow. Do not believe that the good that came to you was only because you made a vow. Rather, believe that the good is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
