Hadith 13620

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى ، قَالَ : " اسْتَحْمَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا ثُمَّ حَمَلَنَا ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّكَ حَلَفْتَ أَنْ لَا تَحْمِلَنَا ، ثُمَّ حَمَلْتَنَا ! قَالَ : وَأَنَا أَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ لَأَحْمِلَنَّكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for an animal to ride. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was busy with some work at that time, so he said, "By Allah! I will not give you any ride." But when he turned to leave, he was called back and a ride was granted to him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You had sworn that you would not give me a ride?" The Prophet replied, "Now I swear that I will surely give you a ride."
