وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ، عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَابِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِبِلًا، فَعَرَضَهَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ ؓ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، احْذُنِي ! قَالَ ﷺ: « لَا ». فَقَالَ لَهُ ثَلَاثًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: « وَاللهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ »، إِلَى أَنْ بَقِيَ أَرْبَعٌ عُزْرُ الذُّرَى، فَقَالَ: « خُذْهُنَّ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى ». قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي اسْتَحْذَيْتُكَ فَمَنَعْتَنِي، وَحَلَفْتَ فَأَشْفَقْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهْمٌ. قَالَ ﷺ: « إِنِّي إِذَا حَلَفْتُ، فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ - كَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي، وَأَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ أَفْضَلُ ».

✧ Allah granted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ some camels as spoils, and he displayed them. Abu Musa al-Ash'ari ؓ said, 'O Messenger of Allah, give me some!' He ﷺ said, 'No.' He asked him three times, then the Prophet ﷺ said, 'By Allah, I will not do it,' until there remained four with prominent humps. He said, 'Take them, O Abu Musa.' He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I asked you and you refused me, and you swore, so I feared that some doubt might have occurred to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He ﷺ said, 'When I swear an oath and then see that something else is better, I expiate for my oath and do that which is better.'
