2111. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, that his grandfather said that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever swears an oath then sees that something else is better than it, let him not do it, and his leaving it is the expiation for it." (Hasan)
2111 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَوْنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَتْرُكْهَا، فَإِنَّ تَرْكَهَا كَفَّارَتُهَا»

It means that if one is unable to make expiation, he should then at least avoid the sin that he was determined to do, because avoiding a sin is also a good deed.
