أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَی أُتِيَ بِدَجَاجَةٍ فَتَنَحَّی رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُکَ قَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهَا تَأْکُلُ شَيْئًا قَذِرْتُهُ فَحَلَفْتُ أَنْ لَا آکُلَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَی ادْنُ فَکُلْ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْکُلُهُ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُکَفِّرَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4361
It was narrated from Zahdam that some chicken was brought to Abu Musa and a man moved away from the people. He said: “What is the matter with you?” He said: “I saw it eating something that i consider filthy, and I swore I would not eat it.” Abu Musa said: “Come and eat, for I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم eating it.” And he told him to offer expiation for his vow (Kafarat Al YAmin).(Sahih).
