بَابُ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِيْنِ فَرَأَى خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَلَيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ
Chapter on Whoever Swore an Oath and Then Saw Something Better, Let Him Do What Is Better and Expiate for His Oath
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 5343 — on Whoever Swore an Oath and Then Saw
عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever swears an oath about something, but then considers something else to be better, let him choose the better thing and offer expiation for his oath.
