حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ، قَالَ
جَاءَ سَائِلٌ إِلَى عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، فَسَأَلَهُ نَفَقَةً فِي ثَمَنِ خَادِمٍ أَوْ فِي بَعْضِ ثَمَنِ خَادِمٍ. فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أُعْطِيكَ إِلَّا دِرْعِي وَمِغْفَرِي، فَأَكْتُبُ إِلَى أَهْلِي أَنْ يُعْطُوكَهَا. قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَرْضَ، فَغَضِبَ عَدِيٌّ فَقَالَ: أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أُعْطِيكَ شَيْئًا. ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ رَضِيَ، فَقَالَ: أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ ثُمَّ رَأَى أَتْقَى لِلَّهِ مِنْهَا، فَلْيَأْتِ التَّقْوَى»، مَا حَنَّثْتُ يَمِينِي.

A beggar came to Adi b. Hatim and asked him for financial help toward the price of a servant, or part of the price of a servant. He said, "I have nothing to give you except my coat of mail and my helmet, but I will write to my family to give them to you." He said: But he was not satisfied, so Adi became angry and said, "By Allah, I will not give you anything." Then the man became satisfied, and he said, "By Allah, had I not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever swears an oath, then sees something more God-fearing toward Allah than it, let him do what is more God-fearing," I would not have broken my oath."
