وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةٍ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -«وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَرَأَيْتُ غَيْرَهَا خَيْراً مِنْهَا، فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، وَائْتِ اَلَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ» وَفِي لَفْظٍ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ: «فَائِت اَلَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ». وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِأَبِي دَاوُدَ: «فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، ثُمَّ اِئْتِ اَلَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ» وَإِسْنَادُهَا صَحِيحٌ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “When you swear an oath and then consider something else to be better than it, make atonement for your oath and do the thing that is better.”. A wording of al-Bukhari has: “Do the thing that is better and make atonement for your oath.” In a narration by Abu Dawud: “Make atonement for your oath, then do the thing that is better.”.
