Narrated Abu Mousa: I went to the Prophet ﷺ along with a group of AlAshariyin in order to request him to provide us with mounts. He said; By Allah; I will not provide you with mounts and I havent got anything to mount you on. Then we stayed there as long as Allah wished us to stay; and then three very nice looking camels were brought to him and he made us ride them. When we left; we; or some of us; said; By Allah; we will not be blessed; as we came to the Prophet ﷺ asking him for mounts; and he swore that he would not give us any mounts but then he did give us. So let us go back to the Prophet ﷺ and remind him of his oath. When we returned to him and reminded him of the fact ; he said; I did not give you mounts; but it is Allah Who gave you. By Allah; Allah willing; if I ever take an oath to do something and then I find something else than the first; I will make expiation for my oath and do the thing which is better or do something which is better and give the expiation for my oath.
