3274. It was reported from 'Ubaidullāh bin Al-Akhnas, from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father that his grandfather said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'There is no vow and no oath concerning that which the son of Ādam does not possess, or in disobedience to Allāh, or to sever ties of kinship. If a person swears an oath then sees that something else is better than it, let him do that which is better, and not doing it is its expiation.”(Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: All the Aḥādīth from the Prophet ﷺ mention: “And let him expiate for his oath” except in what (narrations) there is no proof.[1] Abū Dāwūd said: I said to Aḥmad: “Yaḥyā bin Sa‘eed reported from ‘Ubaidullāh.” He said: “He abandoned him after that and he is worthy of that (judgment),” Aḥmad said: “His Aḥādīth are Munkar and his father is not known.”
