أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرَوَيْهِ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ هُوَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ثنا الصَّعْقُ بْنُ حَزْنَ، ثنا مَطَرٌ الْوَرَّاقُ، عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ دَجَاجٍ، فَقَالَ: ادْنُ فَكُلْ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي حَلَفْتُ لَا آكُلُهُ، قَالَ: ادْنُ فَكُلْ، وَسَأُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ هَذِهِ، قَالَ: فَدَنَوْتُ فَأَكَلْتُ، قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَاسٍ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ فَقَالَ: " لَا وَاللهِ، لَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ، وَمَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ "، قَالَ: فَمَا بَرِحْنَا حَتَّى أَتَتْهُ فَرَائِضُ غُرُّ الذُّرَى، فَأَمَرَ لَنَا مِنْهَا بِحِمْلَانِ، فَمَا بَرِحْنَا إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى قُلْنَا مَا صَنَعْنَا نَسَّيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمِينَهُ، وَاللهِ لَا نُفْلِحُ قَالَ: فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: " مَا رَدَّكُمْ؟ "، قَالُوا: إِنَّكَ حَلَفْتَ أَلَّا تَحْمِلَنَا فَخَشِينَا أَنْ لَا يُبَارَكَ لَنَا، وَخَشِينَا أَنْ نَكُونَ نَسَّيْنَاكَ يَمِينَكَ، قَالَ: " أَنِّي وَاللهِ مَا نُسِّيتُهَا، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ "..
Zahdam al-Jarmi says: I came to Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was eating chicken. He said: Come close and eat. I said: I have sworn that I will not eat it. He said: Eat; I will soon tell you about this oath of yours. He says: So I came close and ate. He said: We came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a group of the Ash'aris, asking him for mounts, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! I will not give you mounts, nor do I have any." We stayed on, and then camels with high humps arrived, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) provided us with mounts. We had gone only a little way when we thought: We have made the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forget his oath; by Allah! we will not prosper. So we came back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What has brought you back?" They said: O Prophet of Allah! You had sworn that you would not give us mounts; we feared that we would not be blessed in them, and that we may have made you forget your oath. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have not forgotten my oath; but whoever swears an oath and something else is better than it, let him do that and give the expiation for his oath."
