أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي يَعْنِي رَهْطٍ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ فَقَالَ «وَاللهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ وَمَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ» ثُمَّ لَبِثْنَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ فَأُتِيَ بِإِبِلٍ فَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِثَلَاثَةِ ذَوْدٍ فَلَمَّا انْطَلَقْنَا قَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ لَا يُبَارِكُ اللهُ لَنَا أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ فَحَلَفَ لَا يَحْمِلُنَا فَحَمَلْنَا قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «مَا أَنَا حَمَلْتُكُمْ بَلِ اللهُ حَمَلَكُمْ إِنِّي وَاللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَأَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا كَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَأَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ»

✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a group of the Ashʿarīs to ask him for mounts. He said: “By Allah, I will not give you mounts, and I have nothing to give you as mounts.” Then we waited as long as Allah willed, and camels were brought to him, and he ordered for us three herds. When we left, some of us said to others: “May Allah not bless us; we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to ask him for mounts, and he swore not to give us mounts, then he gave us mounts.” Abū Mūsā said: So we came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him, and he said: “I did not give you mounts; rather Allah gave you mounts. Indeed, by Allah, if Allah wills, I do not swear an oath and then see something else better than it except that I expiate my oath and do what is better.”
