وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ ضُرَيْبِ بْنِ نُقَيْرٍ الْقَيْسِيِّ، عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ، وَاللهِ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ»، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثَةِ ذَوْدٍ بُقْعِ الذُّرَى، فَقُلْنَا: إِنَّا أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ، فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، أَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلَّا أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ.

We came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) requesting him to provide us with riding camels. He (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) said: There is nothing with me with which I should equip you. By Allah, I would not provide you with (riding camels). Then Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) sent to us three camels with spotted bumps. We said: We came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) asking him to equip us with riding animals. He took an oath that he could not equip us. We came to him and informed him. He said: By Allah, I do not take an oath, but when I find the other thing better than that, I do that which is better.
