Hadith 5346

عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَدَّمَ فِي طَعَامِهِ لَحْمَ دَجَاجٍ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَيْمِ اللَّهِ أَحْمَرُ كَأَنَّهُ مَوْلًى فَلَمْ يَدْنُ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى ادْنُ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ قَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ يَأْكُلُ شَيْئًا فَقَذِرْتُهُ فَحَلَفْتُ أَنْ لَا أَطْعَمَهُ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ ادْنُ أُخْبِرْكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ إِنِّي أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ نَعَمًا مِنْ نَعَمِ الصَّدَقَةِ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ أَحْسِبُهُ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ فَقَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ وَمَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنَهْبِ إِبِلٍ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَشْعَرِيُّونَ فَأَتَيْنَا فَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِخَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ غُرِّ الذُّرَى فَانْدَفَعْنَا فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَحَمَلَنَا فَقُلْتُ نَسِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمِينَهُ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ تَغَفَّلْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمِينَهُ لَا نُفْلِحُ أَبَدًا ارْجِعُوا بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلْنُذَكِّرْهُ يَمِينَهُ فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَيْنَاكَ نَسْتَحْمِلُكَ فَحَلَفْتَ أَنْ لَا تَحْمِلَنَا ثُمَّ حَمَلْتَنَا فَعَرَفْنَا أَوْ ظَنَنَّا أَنَّكَ نَسِيتَ يَمِينَكَ فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ انْطَلِقُوا فَإِنَّمَا حَمَلَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَأَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَتَحَلَّلْتُهَا
Zahdam Jarami says: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him), and he presented chicken meat. A man from the Banu Taym Allah tribe was also present there; his complexion was red and it seemed as if he was a slave. He did not come near the food. Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Come closer, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) eating this meat. He said: I saw him eating something because of which I felt disgusted and I swore that I would never eat it. He (Abu Musa) said: Come closer, I will also inform you about that. I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a group of Ash'aris; we had come to ask him for mounts, and at that time the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was distributing the camels of zakat. Ayub, the narrator, says: I think that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was angry, and he said: No, by Allah! I will not give you mounts, nor do I have any mounts left. So we went back. Then, when the camels of war booty were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he asked: Where are those Ash'ari people? So we reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he ordered for us five white-humped camels. We took them and went back. I (Abu Musa) said to my companions: When we went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask for mounts, he swore that he would not give us mounts, but then he sent for us and gave us mounts. I said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has forgotten about his oath. By Allah! If we have made the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forget his oath, we will never succeed. Take us to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so that we may remind him of his oath. So we returned and said: O Messenger of Allah! We came to you to ask for mounts, but you swore that you would not give us mounts, then you gave us mounts. Now we thought that perhaps you had forgotten about your oath. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go, Allah Almighty has given you mounts. As for me, by Allah, whenever I swear an oath and then see something else better, I choose that and offer expiation for my oath.
