حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ التَّمِيمِيِّ، عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي مُوسَى فَقَدَّمَ فِي طَعَامِهِ لَحْمَ دَجَاجٍ، وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَيْمِ اللهِ أَحْمَرُ كَأَنَّهُ مَوْلًى، فَلَمْ يَدْنُ. قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى: ادْنُ؛ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ. قَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ يَأْكُلُ شَيْئًا فَقَذِرْتُهُ، فَحَلَفْتُ أَنْ لَا أَطْعَمَهُ أَبَدًا. فَقَالَ: ادْنُ أُخْبِرْكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ. إِنِّي أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ نَعَمًا مِنْ نَعَمِ الصَّدَقَةِ. قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: أَحْسِبُهُ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ. فَقَالَ: " لَا. وَاللهِ مَا (١) أَحْمِلُكُمْ وَمَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ ". فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنَهْبِ إِبِلٍ. فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَشْعَرِيُّونَ؟ " فَأَتَيْنَا فَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِخَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ غُرِّ الذُّرَى فَانْدَفَعْنَا، فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي: أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَحَمَلَنَا، فَقُلْتُ نَسِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمِينَهُ، وَاللهِ لَئِنْ تَغَفَّلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمِينَهُ لَا نُفْلِحُ أَبَدًا، ارْجِعُوا بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلْنُذَكِّرْهُ يَمِينَهُ، فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَيْنَاكَ نَسْتَحْمِلُكَ فَحَلَفْتَ أَنْ لَا تَحْمِلَنَا، ثُمَّ حَمَلْتَنَا، فَعَرَفْنَا أَوْ ظَنَنَّا أَنَّكَ نَسِيتَ (٢) يَمِينَكَ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " انْطَلِقُوا فَإِنَّمَا حَمَلَكُمُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، إِنِّي وَاللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ لَا، ، أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَأَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَتَحَلَّلْتُهَا " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to him while he was eating chicken. That man sat to one side and said, "I have sworn an oath that I will not eat it because I see chickens eating filth." He (Abu Musa) said, "Come closer, for I will tell you about this. Once, I was with a group of Ash'aris in the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). We requested riding animals from the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), so he said, 'By Allah! I cannot mount you, for I have nothing to mount you on.' We waited for a while, as long as Allah willed, then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) ordered for three camels with bright foreheads for us. When we were about to leave, one of us said to another, 'We came to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) to request riding animals, and he swore an oath that he would not give us riding animals. Let us go back and remind the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) of his oath.' So we again presented ourselves before the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! We came to you to request riding animals, and you swore an oath that you would not give us riding animals, yet you gave us animals?' The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'I did not mount you, but Allah did. By Allah! If Allah wills, whenever I swear an oath and see something better in another matter, I will choose that and offer expiation for my oath.'" The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
