21 14307 Sahih Muslim 28 4364 The Book of Oaths - كتاب الأيمان "30367 20028 11257 10894" "حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا جرير، عن عبد العزيز، - يعني ابن رفيع - عن تميم بن طرفة، قال جاء سائل إلى عدي بن حاتم فسأله نفقة في ثمن خادم أو في بعض ثمن خادم . فقال ليس عندي ما أعطيك إلا درعي ومغفري فأكتب إلى أهلي أن يعطوكها . قال فلم يرض فغضب عدي فقال أما والله لا أعطيك شيئا ثم إن الرجل رضي فقال أما والله لولا أني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول "" من حلف على يمين ثم رأى أتقى لله منها فليأت التقوى "" . ما حنثت يميني ." " Tamim b. Tarafa reported: A beggar came to 'Adi b. Hatim and he begged him to give him the price of a slave or some portion of the price of the slave. He ('Adi) said: I have nothing to give you except my coat-of-mail and helmet. I will however write to my family to give that to you but he did not agree to that. Thereupon 'Adi was enraged and said: By Allah I will not give you anything. The person (then) agreed to accept that whereupon he said: By Allah had I not heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saying:"" He who took an oath but then found something more pious in the sight of Allah he should (break the oath) and do that which is more pious "" I would not have broken the oath (and thus paid you anything)."
