Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى قَالَ اسْتَحْمَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّ
مَ فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا ثُمَّ حَمَلَنَا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ حَلَفْتَ أَنْ لَا تَحْمِلَنَا ثُمَّ حَمَلْتَنَا قَالَ وَأَنَا أَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَأَحْمِلَنَّكُمْ

English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, Humayd narrated to us who said: I heard Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) say that Abu Musa said: 'We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for mounts, and he swore not to give us any. Then he gave us mounts. I said: O Messenger of Allah, you swore not to give us mounts and then you gave us mounts. He said: Indeed, whenever I swear an oath and then see something better than it, I do what is better and expiate for my oath.'
