Recommendation to do what is better when swearing an oath, rather than sticking to it
Hadith 4351
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلابَةَ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَى أَبُو مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَحْمِلُهُ لِنَفَرٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لا أَحْمِلُهُمْ . فَأُتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِنَهْبٍ مِنْ إِِبِلٍ فَفَرَّقَهَا ، فَبَقِيَ مِنْهَا خَمْسُ عَشْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ؟ قَالَ : هُوَ ذَا هُوَ . فَقَالَ : خُذْ هَذِهِ فَاحْمِلْ عَلَيْهَا قَوْمَكَ . قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِِنَّكَ كُنْتَ قَدْ حَلَفْتَ . قَالَ : " وَإِِنْ كُنْتُ حَلَفْتُ " .
Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to obtain riding animals for some people belonging to his tribe. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Allah! I will not provide riding animals for those people. Then some camels were brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he had them separated; fifteen camels remained. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Where is Abdullah bin Qais? They replied: He is here. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take them and have your people ride on them. He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You had sworn (that you would not give us riding animals). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even though I had sworn (still, you take them).
