Tamim b. Tarafa reported:A beggar came to 'Adi b. Hatim and he begged him to give him the price of a slave, or some portion of the price of the slave. He ('Adi) said: I have nothing to give you except my coat-of-mail and helmet. I will, however, write to my family to give that to you, but he did not agree to that. Thereupon 'Adi was enraged, and said: By Allah, I will not give you anything. The person (then) agreed to accept that, whereupon he said: By Allah, had I not heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying:" He who took an oath, but then found something more pious in the sight of Allah, he should (break the oath) and do that which is more pious," I would not have broken the oath (and thus paid you anything)

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا جرير، عن عبد العزيز، - يعني ابن رفيع - عن تميم بن طرفة، قال جاء سايل الى عدي بن حاتم فساله نفقة في ثمن خادم او في بعض ثمن خادم . فقال ليس عندي ما اعطيك الا درعي ومغفري فاكتب الى اهلي ان يعطوكها . قال فلم يرض فغضب عدي فقال اما والله لا اعطيك شييا ثم ان الرجل رضي فقال اما والله لولا اني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " من حلف على يمين ثم راى اتقى لله منها فليات التقوى " . ما حنثت يميني
