قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَكَفَّارَتُهُ إِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ مِنْ أَوْسَطِ مَا تُطْعِمُونَ أَهْلِيكُمْ أَوْ كِسْوَتُهُمْ أَوْ تَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ ذَلِكَ كَفَّارَةُ أَيْمَانِكُمْ إِذَا حَلَفْتُمْ وَاحْفَظُوا أَيْمَانَكُمْ} .
His (Allah's) saying: {But its expiation is the feeding of ten needy people from the average of that which you feed your [own] families or clothing them or the freeing of a slave. But whoever cannot find [or afford it]—then a fast of three days [is required]. That is the expiation for oaths when you have sworn. But guard your oaths}

Hadith 785
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، قَالَ: نَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ يَسَارِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَأْتِينِي، فَيَسْأَلُنِي، فَأَحْلِفُ أَنْ لَا أُعْطِيَهُ، ثُمَّ يَبْدُو لِي فَأُعْطِيهِ، فَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكَ أَنْ تُكَفِّرَ عَنِّي، فَأَطْعِمْ عَشَرَةَ مَسَاكِينَ، لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ نِصْفُ صَاعٍ مِنْ قَمْحٍ، أَوْ صَاعٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ، أَوْ تَمْرٍ .
Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sometimes a person comes to me and asks me for something, so I swear that I will not give him anything, then my heart changes and I give him something. So when I tell you to offer expiation on my behalf, then feed ten needy people, giving each needy person half a sa’ of wheat or one sa’ of barley or dates.

Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have considered myself in the wealth of Allah like the guardian of an orphan; if I am in need, I take from it, and when I am at ease, I return it, and if I become wealthy, I refrain from it. And I have been made the guardian of a great matter of the Muslims, so if you hear me swear an oath and I do not fulfill it, then on my behalf feed ten needy people five sa’ of wheat, one sa’ for every two needy people.

Hajjaj (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) about the fasting for the expiation of an oath, and he said: If he wishes, he may separate them.

A man from the west came to Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: By Allah, O Commander of the Faithful! You must give me a ride. So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) looked at him and said: By Allah! If you had mentioned your need without making me swear, it would have been better. And now, I swear by Allah that I will not give you a ride. The narrator says: I think he replied to him in this way thirty times or nearly thirty times.
Then an Ansari man whose name was Atiq bin Bilal said to him: What do you want? Have you not seen how many oaths the Commander of the Faithful has taken that he will not give you a ride? By Allah! You only want to cause trouble.
The man said: By Allah! This wealth belongs to Allah, by Allah! I am also one of Allah’s servants, by Allah! You are the Commander of the Faithful, my ride has left me stranded, by Allah! I am a traveler, I have been cut off on the way, by Allah! You must give me a ride.
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: What did you say? He repeated the same thing, so he said: By Allah! This wealth is indeed Allah’s, and you are indeed Allah’s servant, and I am the Commander of the Faithful, and if your ride has left you stranded, I cannot leave you to perish, by Allah! I will give you a ride.
Then that man kept repeating his statement until Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also swore an oath or swore twice, then said: From now on, I will not persist in any oath for which there is a better alternative, rather I will choose the better alternative.
