\nNarrated Aisha:\n \n\nThat her father (Abu Bakr) never broke his oath till Allah revealed the order of the legal expiation for \noath. Abu Bakr said, "If I ever take an oath (to do something) and later find that to do something else \nis better, then I accept Allah's permission and do that which is better, (and do the legal expiation for \nmy oath ) ".\n

\nحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ أَبَاهَا، كَانَ لاَ يَحْنَثُ فِي يَمِينٍ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ كَفَّارَةَ الْيَمِينِ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لاَ أَرَى يَمِينًا أُرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلاَّ قَبِلْتُ رُخْصَةَ اللَّهِ، وَفَعَلْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ‏.‏
