I came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ along with a group of Ash'arites requesting to give us a mount. He (the Holy Prophet) said: By Allah, I cannot provide you with a mount, and there is nothing with me which I should give you as a ride. He (the narrator) said: We stayed there as long as Allah willed. Then there were brought to him (to the Holy Prophet) camels. He (the Holy Prophet) then ordered to give us three white humped camels, We started and said (or some of us said to the others): Allah will not bless us. We came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ begging him to provide us with riding camels. He swore that he could not provide us with a mount, but later on he provided us with that. They (some of the Prophet's Companions) came and informed him about this (rankling of theirs), whereupon he said: It was not I who provided you with a mount, but Allah has provided you with that. So far as I am concerned, by Allah, if He so wills, I would not swear, but if, later on, I would see better than it, I (would break the vow) and expiate it and do that which is better. (Using translation from Muslim 1649a)   

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ قَالَ وَاللهِ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ وَمَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَلَبِثْنَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِإِبِلٍ فَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِثَلَاثِ ذَوْدٍ غُرِّ الذُّرَى فَلَمَّا انْطَلَقْنَا قُلْنَا أَوْ قَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ لَا يُبَارَكُ اللهُ لَنَا أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا ثُمَّ حَمَلَنَا فَأَتَوْهُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا حَمَلْتُكُمْ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ حَمَلَكُمْ إِنِّي وَاللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ ثُمَّ أَرَى خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا كَفَّرْتُ يَمِينِي وَأَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ خَلَفِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ وَحَدِيثُ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ بِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] The sun eclipsed during the time of the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ speech until it said, "So he said, 'By Allah, if you knew what I knew, you would laugh a little and weep a lot.'"  

خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا  

[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, if you knew what I know, you would have wept much and laughed little."  

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ تَعْلمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا وَلَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if I had even one gold piece, I would prefer that it not stay with me for three nights, and I have a dinar with me which I cannot find anyone to accept it from me except if I give it as charity to someone who has a debt with me."  

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدِي أُحُدًا ذَهَبًا لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ لَا يَأْتِيَ عَلَيَّ ثَلَاثُ لَيَالٍ وَعِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ أَجِدُ مَنْ يَتَقَبَّلُهُ إِلَّا شَيئًا أَرْصُدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ عَلَيَّ  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore an oath strongly, he said: No, by Him in Whose hand is the soul of AbulQasim. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3264)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا اجْتَهَدَ فِي الْيَمِينِ قَالَ لَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ بِيَدِهِ  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was sitting in the shade of the Kaaba. When he saw me, he said, "They are the ones who will lose." By the Lord of the Kaaba, I approached until I sat down, feeling hesitant to stand up. So I said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah, who are they?" He said, "They are those who have the most wealth, except for those who say, 'This and that and that' from what is in front of them, behind them, to their right, and to their left, and they are few."  

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ فَلَمْ أَتَقَارَّ أَنْ قُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ هُمْ؟ قَالَ هُمُ الْأَكْثَرُونَ أَمْوَالًا إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ بِالْمَالِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا مِنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ  

[Machine] I arrived at him while he was saying in the shade of the Kaaba, "They are the ones who will incur a loss." By the Lord of the Kaaba, I said, "What is my concern? Does he see something in me?" So I sat down while he was saying, "I couldn't remain silent, and my mind was overwhelmed by what Allah willed. So I said, "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah, by my father and mother?" He said, "The majority of them are those who possess wealth, except those who say this and this and this." Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Salih ibn Hane' told us, Al-Sari ibn Khuza'ima told us, Umar ibn Hafs told us, my father told us, Al-Amash mentioned it.  

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ قُلْتُ مَا شَأْنِي؟ أَيَرَى فِيَّ شَيْئًا فَجَلَسْتُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ فَمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أَسْكُتَ وَتَغَشَّانِي مَا شَاءَ اللهُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هُمْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الْأَكْثَرُونَ أَمْوَالًا إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثنا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ ثنا أَبِي ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] To the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , I said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed I know when you are pleased with me and when you are angry with me." He said, "How do you know that, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "When you are pleased with me, I say 'No, by the Lord of Muhammad,' and when you are angry with me, I say 'No, by the Lord of Ibrahim.'  

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ إِذَا كُنْتِ عَنِّي رَاضِيَةً وَإِذَا كُنْتِ عَلَيَّ غَضْبَى قَالَتْ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَيْنَ تَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ إِذَا كُنْتِ عَنِّي رَاضِيَةً قُلْتِ لَا وَرَبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَإِذَا كُنْتِ عَلَيَّ غَضْبَى قُلْتِ لَا وَرَبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ had a right hand that he would swear by, saying "By the Lord who turns the hearts."  

كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَمِينٌ يَحْلِفُ بِهَا لَا وَمُقَلِّبِ الْقُلُوبِ
