4614. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: that her father (Abū Bakr) never broke his oath till Allāh revealed the order of the legal expiation for oath. Abū Bakr said, "If I ever take an oath (to do something), and later find that to do something else is better, then I accept Allāh's Permission and do that which is better (and do the legal expiation for my oath)."

Arabic text

4614 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ابْنُ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَنَّ أَبَاهَا كَانَ لاَ يَحْنَثُ فِي يَمِينٍ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ كَفَّارَةَ اليَمِينِ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: «لاَ أَرَى يَمِينًا أُرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلَّا قَبِلْتُ رُخْصَةَ اللَّهِ وَفَعَلْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ»
