Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، مَوْلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Mansur reported to us; he said: ʿAbd al-Rahman narrated to us; he said: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Murrah, who said: I heard ʿAbdullah ibn ʿAmr, the client of al-Hasan ibn ʿAli, narrate from ʿAdi ibn Hatim that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Whoever swears an oath and then sees that something else is better, let him do what is better and make expiation for his oath.’
