A similar tradition has been transmitted by Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah through a different chain if narrators. This version has: "Make atonement for your oath and then do the thing that is better. " Abu Dawud said: The version of this tradition transmitted by Abu Musa al-Ashari, Adi bin Hatim and Abu Hurairah are variant. Some of them indicate breaking the oath before making atonement, and other making atonement before breaking the oath.
