in summary: this addition "facing the Kaʿbah" is confirmed by its various chains, and the original ḥadīth is more authentic. And Allāh knows best.

- "Allāh said: A vow does not bring to the son of Adam anything I have not decreed for him, but it is something by which I extract from the miser what he would not otherwise give me due to his miserliness. In another narration: what he would not have given me before."

From the fiqh of the ḥadīth: the ḥadīth with all its wordings indicates that making vows is not legislated, rather it is disliked, and the apparent prohibition in some of its chains suggests it is forbidden, and some have said so. Except that His saying, the Exalted: "I extract from
