Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْقُطَعِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، وَذَكَرَ، كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَائْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ " .
Translation
Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Qutaʿi reported to us from ʿAbd al-Aʿla, who mentioned a phrase to the effect that Saʿid narrated to us, from Qatadah, from al-Hasan, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Samurah, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘When you swear an oath and then see that something else is better, make expiation for your oath and do what is better.’
