Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، وَيُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا آلَيْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ " .
Translation
Ziyad ibn Ayyub reported to us; he said: Hushaym narrated to us; he said: Mansur and Yunus informed us, from al-Hasan, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Samurah, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me: ‘When you swear an oath and then see that something else is better, do what is better and make expiation for your oath.’
