[42691 10 – ( … ) It was narrated that Abü Müsâ A]-Asha'rI said: "We came to the Messenger of Allah to ask him for mounts, and he said: 'I do not have anything to give to you as mounts, and by Allah I will not give you mounts.' Then the Messenger of Allah sent to us three camels with white humps. We said: 'We came to the Messenger of Allah and asked him for mounts, and he swore that he would not give us mounts.' So we went back to him and told him, and he said: 'I do not swear an oath, then see that something else is better than it, but I do that which is better."
