Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا حَلَفَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَنْظُرِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ فَلْيَأْتِهِ " .
Translation
Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿla reported to us; he said: al-Muʿtamir narrated to us, from his father, from al-Hasan, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Samurah, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: ‘If one of you swears an oath and then sees that something else is better, let him make expiation for his oath, then consider what is better and do it.’
