[Machine] "To strike him, his expiation is to leave him, and with the expiation is a good deed."  

البيهقي:١٩٨٦٤وَأَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ فِرَاسٍ ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ صُبَيْحٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مِلْكِ يَمِينِهِ

أَنْ يَضْرِبَهُ فَكَفَّارَتُهُ تَرْكُهُ وَمَعَ الْكَفَّارَةِ حَسَنَةٌ

Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān

ذِكْرُ كِتْبَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْحَسَنَةَ لِلتَّارِكِ يَمِينَهُ بِأَخْذِ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever swears an oath to harm someone and wants to fulfill it, then his expiation is to leave it (not harm the person), and with the expiation there is goodness."  

ابن حبّان:٤٣٤٤أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ* حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَحْوَلُ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مُلْكِ يَمِينِهِ أَنْ يَضْرِبَهُ فَكَفَّارَتُهُ تَرَكُهُ وَمَعَ الْكَفَّارَةِ حَسَنَةٌ»
