Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ " .
Translation
Muhammad ibn Qudamah, in his narration from Jarir, from Mansur, from al-Hasan al-Basri, reported: ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Samurah said: The Messenger of Allah, 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.’
