Narrated Zahdam: We were in the company of Abu Mousa AlAshari and there were friendly relations between us and this tribe of Jarm. Abu Mousa was presented with a dish containing chicken. Among the people there was sitting a red-faced man who did not come near the food. Abu Mousa said to him ; Come on and eat ; for I have seen Allah Messenger ﷺ eating of it i.e. chicken. He said; I have seen it eating something dirty and since then I have disliked it; and have taken an oath that I shall not eat it Abu Mousa said; Come on; I will tell you or narrate to you. Once I went to Allah s Apostle with a group of AlAshariyin; and met him while he was angry; distributing some camels of rakat. We asked for mounts but he took an oath that he would not give us any mounts; and added; I have nothing to mount you on In the meantime some camels of booty were brought to Allah Messenger ﷺ and he asked twice; Where are AlAshariyin? So he gave us five white camels with big humps. We stayed for a short while after we had covered a little distance ; and then I said to my companions; Allah Messenger ﷺ has forgotten his oath. By Allah; if we do not remind Allah Messenger ﷺ of his oath; we will never be successful. So we returned to the Prophet ﷺ and said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! We asked you for mounts; but you took an oath that you would not give us any mounts; we think that you have forgotten your oath. He said; It is Allah Who has given you mounts. By Allah; and Allah willing; if I take an oath and later find something else better than that. then I do what is better and expiate my oath.
