[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ: "Whoever takes an oath to do something, but then sees something better than it, should do what is better and his oath will be expiated." 19861 Abu Ali al-Rudhbary informed us that Muhammad ibn Bakr reported that Abu Dawud said, "All the hadiths are narrated from the Prophet ﷺ and should be expiated from his oath except for what he does not care about." Abu Dawud said, "I asked Ahmad ibn Hanbal about Yahya ibn Sa'id who narrated from Yahya ibn 'Ubaid Allah, and he said, 'He abandoned him after that and he was considered unreliable.' Ahmad ibn Hanbal said, 'His hadiths are false and his father is not known.'"

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَأَتَى الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَتُهُ 19861 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أَنْبَأَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْأَحَادِيثُ كُلُّهَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ إِلَّا مَا لَا يُعْبَأُ بِهِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قُلْتُ لِأَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ رَوَى يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ تَرَكَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ لِذَلِكَ أَهْلًا قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ أَحَادِيثُهُ مَنَاكِيرُ وَأَبُوهُ لَا يُعْرَفُ
