( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أَنْبَأَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُقَيْلٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ، ثَنَا هِشَامٌ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي هِلَالٌ الْوَزَّانُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، احْمِلْنِي. فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ، لَا أَحْمِلُكَ. فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ، لَتَحْمِلَنِّي. قَالَ: وَاللهِ، لَا أَحْمِلُكَ. قَالَ: وَاللهِ، لَتَحْمِلَنِّي، إِنِّي ابْنُ سَبِيلٍ قَدْ أَدَّتْ بِي رَاحِلَتِي. فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ، لَا أَحْمِلُكَ، حَتَّى حَلَفَ نَحْوًا مِنْ عِشْرِينَ يَمِينًا. قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: مَا لَكَ وَلِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ: وَاللهِ، لِيَحْمِلَنِّي، إِنِّي ابْنُ سَبِيلٍ قَدْ أَدَّتْ بِي رَاحِلَتِي. قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَاللهِ لَأَحْمِلَنَّكَ، ثُمَّ وَاللهِ لَأَحْمِلَنَّكَ. قَالَ: فَحَمَلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ

A man came to ʿUmar ؓ and said: "O Commander of the Believers, give me a mount." He said: "By God, I will not give you a mount." The man said: "By God, you will surely give me one." He said: "By God, I will not give you a mount." The man said: "By God, you will surely give me one. I am a traveller, and my mount has worn me out." He said: "By God, I will not give you a mount," until he had sworn about twenty oaths. He said: A man from the Anṣār said to him: "What is the matter with you and the Commander of the Believers?" He said: "By God, he will surely give me a mount. I am a traveller, and my mount has worn me out." He said: Then ʿUmar said: "By God, I will give you a mount, then by God, I will give you a mount." He said: So he gave him a mount, then said: "Whoever swears an oath, then sees that something else is better than it, let him do what is better, and let him expiate for his oath."
