حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَن سُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي التَّيْمِيَّ ، عَن أَبِي السَّلِيلِ ، عَن زَهْدَمٍ ، عَن أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : انْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ ، فَقَالَ : " وَاللَّهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ " ، فَرَجَعْنَا ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا بِثَلَاثٍ بُقْعِ الذُّرَى ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ : حَلَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ ، فَقُلْنَا : إِنَّكَ حَلَفْتَ أَنْ لَا تَحْمِلَنَا ! فَقَالَ : " مَا أَنَا حَمَلْتُكُمْ ، إِنَّمَا حَمَلَكُمْ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ، مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ يَمِينٌ أَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهَا ، فَأَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا ، إِلَّا أَتَيْتُهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I, along with a group of Ash'aris, presented ourselves before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). We requested animals for riding from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "By Allah! I cannot provide you with mounts, for I do not have anything to mount you on." We stayed there for a while, as long as Allah willed, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered for three camels with bright foreheads to be given to us. When we were about to leave, one of us said to the other, "We came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) requesting mounts, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) swore an oath that he would not give us mounts. Let us go back and remind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of his oath." So we again presented ourselves before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! We came to you requesting mounts, and you swore an oath that you would not give us mounts, yet you have given us animals?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I did not provide you with mounts, rather Allah did. By Allah! If Allah wills, whenever I take an oath and then see something better, I will choose that which is better and offer expiation for my oath."
