[4271] 11 - (1650) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ late at night, then he went back to his family and found that his children had gone to sleep. His wife brought him his food, but he swore that he would not eat because of his children, then he decided to eat. He came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and told him about that, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Whoever swears an oath then sees that something else is better than it, let him do that, and offer expiation for his oath.'"

Arabic text

11 - (1650) حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: أَعْتَمَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَوَجَدَ الصِّبْيَةَ قَدْ نَامُوا، فَأَتَاهُ أَهْلُهُ بِطَعَامِهِ، فَحَلَفَ لَا يَأْكُلُ مِنْ أَجْلِ صِبْيَتِهِ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ فَأَكَلَ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَلْيَأْتِهَا، وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ»
