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 5349 — on Whoever Swore an Oath and Then Saw
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى خَيْرًا فَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَفْعَلِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (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 later sees something else better, he should offer expiation for his oath and do what is better.
