حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، وَالْقَاسِمُ التَّمِيمِيُّ، عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ، قَالَ:
كَانَ بَيْنَ هَذَا الْحَيِّ وَبَيْنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ عِدَّةٌ، فَكُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي مُوسَى، فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامٌ فِيهِ لَحْمُ دَجَاجٍ، وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَيْمِ اللهِ، أَحْمَرُ كَأَنَّهُ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي، فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى الطَّعَامِ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ يَأْكُلُ شَيْئًا فَقَذِرْتُهُ، فَحَلَفْتُ أَنْ لَا آكُلَهُ، فَقَالَ: هَلُمَّ فَلْأُحَدِّثْكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، إِنِّي أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ وَمَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ قَالَ: فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِإِبِلٍ، فَسَأَلَ عَنَّا، فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ النَّفَرُ الْأَشْعَرِيُّونَ ؟ " فَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِخَمْسَةِ ذَوْدٍ غُرِّ الذُّرَى، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا قُلْنَا بَيْنَمَا حَلَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا يَحْمِلَنَا، وَمَا عِنْدَهُ مَا يَحْمِلُنَا ثُمَّ حَمَلَنَا، فَتَغَفَّلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَمِينَهُ، وَاللهِ لَا نُفْلِحُ أَبَدًا فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْنَا: إِنَّا سَأَلْنَاكَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَنَا فَحَلَفْتَ أَلَّا تَحْمِلَنَا، ثُمَّ حَمَلْتَنَا، فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَنَا حَمَلْتُكُمْ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ حَمَلَكُمْ وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَأَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَتَحَلَّلْتُهَا ".

✧ There was a dispute between this tribe and the Ash'aris, so we were with Abu Musa. Food containing chicken meat was brought to him, and with him was a man from Banu Taym Allah, reddish as if he were from the clients. He called him to the food, but the man said: 'I saw it eating something, so I found it disgusting, and I swore not to eat it.' Abu Musa said: 'Come, let me tell you about that. I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ with a group of Ash'aris asking him to provide us mounts. He said: By God, I will not provide you mounts, and I have nothing to mount you on. Then some camels were brought to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he asked about us, saying: Where are the Ash'ari group? He ordered for us five young camels with white humps. When we returned, we said: The Messenger of God ﷺ swore not to mount us and had nothing to mount us on, yet he mounted us. We overlooked the Messenger of God's ﷺ oath; by God, we will never succeed. So we went back to him and said: We asked you to mount us, and you swore not to mount us, but you mounted us. He said: I did not mount you; rather God mounted you. By God, I do not swear an oath and then see something better than it except that I do what is better and expiate my oath.'
