حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْوَسَاوِسِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا الصَّعْقُ بْنُ حَزْنٍ الْعَيْشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَطَرٌ الْوَرَّاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا زَهْدَمٌ الْجَرْمِيُّ قَالَ:
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ دَجَاجٍ، فَقَالَ: هَلُمَّ فَكُلْ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي حَلَفْتُ لَا آكُلُ لَحْمَ الدَّجَاجِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: كُلْ؛ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ، وَسَأُنَبِّئُكَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَأَصْحَابِي [ وَأَصْحَابٌ لِي ] نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ، فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا، وَمَا عِنْدَهُ حُمْلَانٌ، فَوَاللهِ مَا بَرِحْنَا حَتَّى أَتَتْهُ قَلَائِصُ غُرُّ الذُّرَى، فَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِحُمْلَانٍ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا ذَكَرْنَا يَمِينَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: " مَا رَدَّكُمْ ؟ " قُلْنَا: ذَكَرْنَا يَمِينَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَخَشِينَا أَنْ تَكُونَ نَسِيتَهَا، فَقَالَ ﷺ: إِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا نَسِيتُهَا، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ

✧ I entered upon Abu Musa al-Ash'ari while he was eating chicken meat. He said, "Come and eat." I said, "I have sworn not to eat chicken meat." Abu Musa said, "Eat, for I saw the Messenger of God ﷺ eating it. And I will inform you about your oath: I and some companions of mine came to the Messenger of God ﷺ asking him for mounts. He swore that he would not provide us mounts, and he had no mounts to give. By God, we had not left before some she-camels with white-tipped humps were brought to him, and he ordered mounts for us. When we left, we remembered the oath of the Messenger of God ﷺ, so we returned to him. He said, 'What brought you back?' We said, 'We remembered your oath, O Messenger of God, and feared that you had forgotten it.' He ﷺ said, 'By God, I did not forget it, but whoever swears an oath and then sees something else better than it, let him do that which is better and expiate for his oath.'"
