[4279] 18 - (...) It was narrated that Tamim bin Tarafah said: “I heard ‘Adiyy bin Hâtim say, when a man came to him asking him for a hundred Dirham: ‘Are you asking me for a hundred Dirham when I am the son of Hâtim? By Allâh, I will not give it to you.’ Then he said: ‘Were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: “Whoever swears an oath, then sees something better than it, let him do that which is better.”’

Arabic text

18 - (1651) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ، وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ يَسْأَلُهُ مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ، فَقَالَ: تَسْأَلُنِي مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ، وَأَنَا ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَاللهِ لَا أُعْطِيكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، ثُمَّ رَأَى خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ»،
