أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَدَعْ يَمِينَهُ وَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَلْيُكَفِّرْهَا " .
Translation
Hannad ibn al-Sari reported to us, from Abu Bakr ibn ʿAyyash, from ʿAbd al-ʿAziz ibn Rufayʿ, from Tamim ibn Tarafah, from ʿAdi ibn Hatim, who said: 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 abandon his oath, do what is better, and make expiation for it.’
