حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ التَّمِيمِيِّ عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ قَالَ
كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي مُوسَى، فَقُدِّمَ فِي طَعَامِهِ لَحْمَ دَجَاجٍ، وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَيْمِ اللهِ أَحْمَرُ كَأَنَّهُ مَوْلًى، فَلَمْ يَدْنُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى: ادْنُ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ قَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ يَأْكُلُ شَيْئًا، فَقَذِرْتُهُ فَحَلَفْتُ أَنْ لَا أَطْعَمَهُ أَبَدًا، فَقَالَ: ادْنُ أُخْبِرْكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، إِنِّي أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ، وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ نَعَمًا مِنْ نَعَمِ الصَّدَقَةِ، قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: أَحْسِبُهُ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ فَقَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ، وَمَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا، فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِنَهْبِ إِبِلٍ، فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَشْعَرِيُّونَ ؟ فَأَتَيْنَا فَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِخَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ غُرِّ الذُّرَى، فَانْدَفَعْنَا، فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي: أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَحَمَلَنَا، فَقُلْتُ: نَسِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَمِينَهُ، وَاللهِ لَئِنْ تَغَفَّلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَمِينَهُ لَا نُفْلِحُ أَبَدًا، ارْجِعُوا بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلْنُذَكِّرْهُ يَمِينَهُ، فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتَيْنَاكَ نَسْتَحْمِلُكَ فَحَلَفْتَ أَنْ لَا تَحْمِلَنَا، ثُمَّ حَمَلْتَنَا فَعَرَفْنَا أَوْ ظَنَنَّا أَنَّكَ نَسِيتَ يَمِينَكَ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: انْطَلِقُوا فَإِنَّمَا حَمَلَكُمُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، إِنِّي وَاللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَأَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَتَحَلَّلْتُهَا

✧ We were with Abu Musa when chicken meat was served in his food. Among the people was a man from Banu Taym Allah, reddish as if he were a client, and he did not come near. Abu Musa said to him: Come near, for I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ eat from it. He said: I saw it eat something, and I found it repulsive, so I swore never to taste it again. He said: Come near, and I will tell you about that. I came to the Prophet ﷺ with a group of Ash'aris asking him for mounts, while he was distributing camels from the charity camels. Ayyub said: I think he was angry. He said: No, by Allah, I will not give you mounts, and I have nothing to mount you on. So we left. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought some captured camels, and he said: Where are those Ash'aris? We came, and he ordered for us five young camels with white humps. We set off, and I said to my companions: We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asking for mounts, and he swore not to mount us, then he sent for us and mounted us. I said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forgot his oath. By Allah, if we take advantage of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forgetting his oath, we will never succeed. Let us go back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and remind him of his oath. So we returned to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, we came to you asking for mounts, and you swore not to mount us, then you mounted us. We realized, or thought, that you forgot your oath. He ﷺ said: Go, for it was Allah, Mighty and Majestic, who mounted you. By Allah, if Allah wills, I will not swear an oath and then see something better than it, except that I will do what is better and expiate my oath.
