[4269] 10 - (...) It was narrated that Abû Mûsâ Al-Asha'ri said: "We came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to ask him for mounts, and he said: 'I do not have anything to give to you as mounts, and by Allâh I will not give you mounts.' Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent to us three camels with white humps. We said: 'We came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and asked him for mounts, and he swore that he would not give us mounts.' So we went back to him and told him, and he said: 'I do not swear an oath, then see that something else is better than it, but I do that which is better.'"

10 - (1649) وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ ضُرَيْبِ بْنِ نُقَيْرٍ الْقَيْسِيِّ، عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ، وَاللهِ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ»، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثَةِ ذَوْدٍ بُقْعِ الذُّرَى، فَقُلْنَا: إِنَّا أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ، فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، أَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلَّا أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ»،
