مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5094

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said - he (the narrator) said: I do not think but that it is from the Prophet (PBUH)-: "Whoever swears an oath and says in sha Allah has the choice: if he wishes he may go ahead and fulfil his oath, or if he wishes he can recant without being regarded as breaking his oath" - or he said, "with no problem."
