Sahih Muslim

و حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ وَالْقَاسِمِ التَّمِيمِيِّ عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ قَالَ کَانَ بَيْنَ هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنْ جَرْمٍ وَبَيْنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ وُدٌّ وَإِخَائٌ فَکُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي مُوسَی الْأَشْعَرِيِّ فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامٌ فِيهِ لَحْمُ دَجَاجٍ فَذَکَرَ نَحْوَهُ

Ayyub said: We were sitting in the company of Abu Musa that he called for food and it consisted of flesh of fowl. It was then that a person from Banu Tamim visited him. His complexion was red having the resemblance of a slave. He said to him: Come and (join me in food). He showed reluctance. He (Abu Masa) said: Come on, for I saw Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) eating it (fowl's meat), whereupon that person said: I saw it eating something (of filth and rubbish) and I found it repugnant and took an oath that I would never eat that. He (Abu Muds) said: Come, so that I would narrate to you about that (the incident pertaining to vow). (And he narrated thus): I came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) along with a group of people belonging to the tribe of Ash'ari, asking him to provide us with riding camels. He (the Holy Prophet) said: By Allah, I cannot provide you with riding animals. And there is nothing with me with which I can provide you a mount. We stayed (for some time) there as Allah willed, and there was brought to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) booty of camels. He called us and commanded that we should be given five white humped camels. As we were about to go back, some of us said to the other: As we made Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) forget oath, there would be no blessing for us (in his gift). We went back to him and said: Allah's Messenger, we came to you to provide us with riding animals and you took an oath that you would never equip us with mounts and then you have provided us with the riding beasts Allah's Messenger, have you forgotten? Thereupon he said: I swear by Allah that if Allah so wills, I shall not swear an oath, and then consider something else to be better than it without making atonement for my oath and doing the thing that is better. So you go; Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has given you riding animals.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari with a slight variation of words.

کُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي مُوسَی وَاقْتَصُّوا جَمِيعًا الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَی حَدِيثِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ← زَهْدَمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ ← أَبِي قِلَابَةَ وَالْقَاسِمِ ← أَيُّوبَ، ← وُهَيْبٌ، ← عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ← أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ ← و، ← زَهْدَمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ ← أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، ← أَيُّوبَ، ← سُفْيَانَ، ← ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ← و، ← زَهْدَمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ ← الْقَاسِمِ التَّمِيمِيِّ ← أَيُّوبَ، ← إِسْمَعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ← عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ← و،

Zahdam al-Jarmi reported: We were in the company of Abu Musa. The rest of the hadith is the same.

زَهْدَمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ ← مَطَرٌ الْوَرَّاقُ، ← الصَّعْقُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَزْنٍ ← شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخٍ، ← و،

Zahdam al-Jarmi reported: I visited Abu Musa and lie was eating fowl's meat. The rest of the hadith is the same with this addition that he (the Holy Prophet) said: By Allah, I did not forget it.

أتينا رسول الله نستحمله ← أَبِي مُوسَی الأَشْعَرِيِّ ← زَهْدَمٍ ← ضُرَيْبِ بْنِ نُقَيْرٍ الْقَيْسِيِّ ← سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، ← جَرِيرٌ ← إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ← و،

Abu Musa al-Ash'ari reported: We came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) requesting him to provide us with riding camels. He (the Holy Prophet) said: There is nothing with me with which I should equip you. By Allah, I would not provide you with (riding camels). Then Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) sent to us three camels with spotted bumps. We said: We came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) asking him to equip us with riding animals. He took an oath that he could not equip us. We came to him and informed him. He said: By Allah, I do not take an oath, but when I find the other thing better than that, I do that which is better.

Abu Musa reported: We walked on foot and came to Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) asking him to provide us with mounts. The rest of the hadith is the same.

أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ← أَبِي حَازِمٍ ← يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، ← مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، ← زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ

و حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِکٌ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَی يَمِينٍ فَرَأَی غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيُکَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَفْعَلْ

Abu Huraira reported: A person sat late in the night with Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), and then came to his family and found that his children had gone to sleep. His wife brought food for him. but he took an oath that he would not eat because of his children (having gone to sleep without food) He then gave precedence (of breaking the vow and then expiating it) and ate the food He then came to Allah s Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and made mention of that to him, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) said: He who took an oath and (later on) found something better than that should do that, and expiate for (breaking) his vow.

أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ← أَبِيهِ ← سُھَیْلِ بْنِ اَبِیْ صَالِحٍ ← مَالِكٍ، ← عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ← أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ← و،

و حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَی يَمِينٍ فَرَأَی غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَلْيُکَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: He who took an oath and then found another thing better than (this) should expiate for the oath (broken) by him and do (the better thing).

أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ← أَبِيهِ ← سُھَیْلِ بْنِ اَبِیْ صَالِحٍ ← عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُطَّلِبِ ← ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ ← زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ← و،

و حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَکَرِيَّائَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلَالٍ حَدَّثَنِي سُهَيْلٌ فِي هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ بِمَعْنَی حَدِيثِ مَالِکٍ فَلْيُکَفِّرْ يَمِينَهُ وَلْيَفْعَلْ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: He who took an oath and (later on) found another thing better than that, he should do that which is better, and expiate for the vow (broken by him).

سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلَالٍ ← خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ← الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَکَرِيَّائَ ← و،

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ رُفَيْعٍ عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ قَالَ جَائَ سَائِلٌ إِلَی عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ فَسَأَلَهُ نَفَقَةً فِي ثَمَنِ خَادِمٍ أَوْ فِي بَعْضِ ثَمَنِ خَادِمٍ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أُعْطِيکَ إِلَّا دِرْعِي وَمِغْفَرِي فَأَکْتُبُ إِلَی أَهْلِي أَنْ يُعْطُوکَهَا قَالَ فَلَمْ يَرْضَ فَغَضِبَ عَدِيٌّ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أُعْطِيکَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ رَضِيَ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَی يَمِينٍ ثُمَّ رَأَی أَتْقَی لِلَّهِ مِنْهَا فَلْيَأْتِ التَّقْوَی مَا حَنَّثْتُ يَمِينِي

This hadith is narrated on the authority of Suhail with the same chain of transmitters (with these words): He should expiate for (breaking) the vow and do that which is better.

تَمِیْمِ بْنِ طَرَفَۃَ، ← عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ رُفَيْعٍ ← جَرِيرٌ ← قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ

و حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَی يَمِينٍ فَرَأَی غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَلْيَتْرُکْ يَمِينَهُ

Tamim b. Tarafa reported: A beggar came to 'Adi b. Hatim and he begged him to give him the price of a slave, or some portion of the price of the slave. He ('Adi) said: I have nothing to give you except my coat-of-mail and helmet. I will, however, write to my family to give that to you, but he did not agree to that. Thereupon 'Adi was enraged, and said: By Allah, I will not give you anything. The person (then) agreed to accept that, whereupon he said: By Allah, had I not heard Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) saying: He who took an oath, but then found something more pious in the sight of Allah, he should (break the oath) and do that which is more pious, I would not have broken the oath (and thus paid you anything).

Adi b. Hatim reported Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) as saying: He who took an oath, but he found something else better than that, should do that which is better and break his oath.
