Bayhaqi 19979 — One who swears repeatedly not to do the same thing

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ، ثنا هِشَامٌ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي هِلَالٌ الْوَزَّانُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَالَ: " جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: " يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، احْمِلْنِي " فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكَ "، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَتَحْمِلَنِّي "، قَالَ: " وَاللهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكَ "، قَالَ: " وَاللهِ لَتَحْمِلَنِّي، إِنِّي ابْنُ سَبِيلٍ قَدْ أَدَّتْ بِي رَاحِلَتِي "، فَقَالَ: " وَاللهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكَ "، حَتَّى حَلَفَ نَحْوًا مِنْ عِشْرِينَ يَمِينًا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: " مَا لَكَ وَلِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ "، قَالَ: " وَاللهِ لِيَحْمِلَنِّي، إِنِّي ابْنُ سَبِيلٍ، قَدْ أَدَّتْ بِي رَاحِلَتِي "، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " وَاللهِ لَأَحْمِلَنَّكَ، ثُمَّ وَاللهِ لَأَحْمِلَنَّكَ "، قَالَ: فَحَمَلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ". قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ: " هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، الْكَفَّارَةُ وَاحِدَةٌ، قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: " لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِبَيِّنٍ فِي الْحَدِيثِ " وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّهُ أَقْسَمَ مِرَارًا، فَكَفَّرَ كَفَّارَةً وَاحِدَةً " وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي تَوْكِيدِ الْيَمِينِ، وَهُوَ تَكْرِيرُهَا فِي الشَّيْءِ الْوَاحِدِ، مَذْهَبٌ آخَرُ.
Hilal al-Wazzan said: I heard Ibn Abi Layla say: A man came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Commander of the Believers! Give me a mount. He said: By Allah! I will not give you a mount. He said: You will certainly give me a mount. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will not give you a mount. He said again: You will certainly give me a mount; I am a traveller, and my mount is exhausted. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will not give you a mount, by Allah! Until he had sworn nearly twenty oaths.
A man from the Ansar said to him: What is the matter between you and the Commander of the Believers? He said: I am a traveller, my mount is worn out, and he ought to give me a mount, but he says: By Allah! I will not give you a mount.
The narrator said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! I will certainly give you a mount; then, by Allah! I will certainly give you a mount. Then he gave him a mount. Then he said: "Whoever swears an oath about something and something else is better than it, let him give the expiation for the oath and do the better thing." Ali bin al-Madini (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This hadith is gharib (unusual); the expiation is only one.
(b) The Shaykh said: There is no such evidence in it; but Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) also said that in an oath of this kind the expiation is only once.
