حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا بَکْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَمْ يَکُنْ يَحْنَثُ فِي يَمِينٍ قَطُّ حَتَّی أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ کَفَّارَةَ الْيَمِينِ وَقَالَ لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَی يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتُ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَکَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6621
Narrated `Aisha: Abu Bakr As-Siddiq had never broken his oaths till Allah revealed the expiation for the oaths. Then he said, "If I take an oath to do something and later on I find something else better than the first one, then I do what is better and make expiation for my oath."
