Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ يَسْأَلُهُ مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ تَسْأَلُنِي مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ وَأَنَا ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ وَاللَّهِ لَا أُعْطِيكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ ثُمَّ رَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلَيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us: Shu'bah narrated to us: Simak narrated to us, from Tamim ibn Tarafah, who said: I heard Adi ibn Hatim - a man came to him asking him for a hundred dirhams. He said: You ask me for a hundred dirhams, and I am the son of Hatim? By Allah, I will not give it to you. Then he said: Were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever swears an oath and then sees something better than it, let him do that which is better.
