518 - أنا أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ بْنُ خُرَّزَاذَ، أنا أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ السَّعْتَرِيُّ، نا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، نا أَبِي، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ فَحَلَفَ لَا يُعْطِيهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ» مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a man asked Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) for something, so he swore that he would not give it to him. Then he said: If I had not heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever swears an oath about something, then sees something better than it, let him offer expiation for his oath and do that which is better," I would never have given it to you. Then he gave it to him.
