3276. It was narrated from Abū Burdah, from his father that the Prophet ﷺ said: "By Allāh, if Allāh wills, I do not swear an oath, then see that something else is better than it, but I offer expiation for my oath, and do that which is better." Or he said: "... but I do that which is better and offer expiation for my oath." (Sahih)
3276 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا غَيْلَانُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَأَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلَّا كَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي، وَأَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ»، أَوْ قَالَ: «إِلَّا أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَكَفَّرْتُ يَمِينِي»
