حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ سَائِلٌ إِلَى عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، فَسَأَلَهُ نَفَقَةً فِي ثَمَنِ خَادِمٍ - أَوْ فِي بَعْضِ ثَمَنِ خَادِمٍ - فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أُعْطِيكَ إِلَّا دِرْعِي، وَمِغْفَرِي، فَأَكْتُبُ إِلَى أَهْلِي أَنْ يُعْطُوكَهَا، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَرْضَ، فَغَضِبَ عَدِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: أَمَا وَاللهِ لَا أُعْطِيكَ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ رَضِيَ، فَقَالَ: أَمَا وَاللهِ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، ثُمَّ رَأَى أَتْقَى لِلَّهِ مِنْهَا، فَلْيَأْتِ التَّقْوَى» مَا حَنَّثْتُ يَمِينِي.

A beggar came to 'Adi bin Hatim رضی اللہ عنہ 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 رضی اللہ عنہ 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 ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) 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).
