English

[4275] 15 – (1651) It was narrated that TamIm bin Tarafah said: "A man came to 'Adiyy bin Hâtim and asked him for the price of a servant, or part of the price of a servant. He sad: 'I do not have anything to give you except my coat of mail and my helmet, but I will write to my family and tell them to give you these two things.' He did not accept that, and 'Adiyy got angry. He said: 'By Allah, I will not give you anything!' Then the man accepted it, and he said: 'By Allah, were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "Whoever swears an oath then sees something that is more favored by Allah the Mighty and Sublime, than it, let him do that which is more favored by Allah," I wol' i not have broken my oath."
