وَحَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَرْبِيٍّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، قَالَ:
جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَفَرٍ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ، فَقَالَ: « مَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ، وَاللهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ ». قَالَ: فَتَرَكَنَا أَيَّامًا، فَأُتِيَ بِإِبِلٍ مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ، فَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِثَلَاثِ جِمَالٍ غُرِّ الذُّرَى، فَانْصَرَفْنَا بِهَا، فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي: وَاللهِ مَا أَظُنُّ يُبَارَكُ لَنَا فِيهَا ! إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا فَلَعَلَّهُ نَسِيَ، فَارْجِعُوا بِنَا إِلَيْهِ نُذَكِّرْهُ بِيَمِينِهِ. فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، يَمِينُكَ الَّتِي حَلَفْتَ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ لَا تَحْمِلَنَا ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « قَدْ عَرَفْتُ يَمِينِي، مَنْ حَلَفَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا، فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ».

✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a group of people asking him for mounts. He said, 'I have nothing to mount you on, and by Allah, I will not mount you.' So he left us for some days, then some camels from the zakah camels were brought to him. He sent for me and ordered for us three camels with white humps. We departed with them, and I said to my companions, 'By Allah, I think there will be no blessing for us in them, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore that he would not mount us, so perhaps he forgot. Let us return to him and remind him of his oath.' So we returned to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, your oath that you swore not to mount us?' He ﷺ said, 'I know my oath. Whoever among you swears an oath and then sees something better, let him do that which is better and expiate for his oath.'
