[4271] 11 – (1650) It was narrated that Abü Hurairah said: "A man came to the Prophet late at night, then he went back to his family and found that his children had gone to sleep. His wife brought him his food, but he swore that he would not eat because of his children, then he decided to eat. He came to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that, and the Messenger of Allah ii said: 'Whoever swears an oath then sees that something else is better than it, let him do that, and offer expiation for his oath."
