Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَهُ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ اسْتَقَلَّهُ فَحَلَفَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرًا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ قَطُّ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا مِنْ أَبِي.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja’far narrated to us: Shu’bah narrated to us, from Amr ibn Murrah, who said: I heard Abd Allah ibn Amr narrating from Adi ibn Hatim, that a man came to him asking about something he considered insignificant, and he swore an oath, then said, "Were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: ‘Whoever swears an oath and then sees something better than it, let him do what is better and expiate for his oath.’" Abu Abd al-Rahman said: This is a hadith I have never heard from anyone except my father.
