Abd al-Rahman ibn Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: ‘When you swear an oath and then see that something else is better, expiate your oath and do what is better.’ They agreed upon it. Al-Bukhari’s wording also says: ‘Do what is better, then expiate your oath.’ Abu Dawud’s version says: ‘Expiate your oath, then do what is better.’ Its chain is authentic. It is authentic; al-Bukhari transmitted it (6622), Muslim (1652), and Abu Dawud (3278).
