[Machine] Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah has given His Messenger an abundance of camels to the extent that he distributed them. Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari said, 'O Messenger of Allah, carry me (on a camel).' He (the Prophet) said, 'No.' He repeated this request three times, and every time the Prophet ﷺ refused. Then he said, 'There are four camels left, and they are young calves. O Abu Musa, take them.' Abu Musa said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I feel embarrassed to ask you, and you prevent me from it, and I swear that I should not allow anyone in this city to enter upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ falsely.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When I promise and see that something else is better, I expiate by offering a sacrifice and perform the better action.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ إِبِلًا فَفَرَّقَهَا» فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ احْمِلْنِي قَالَ «لَا» فَقَالَ لَهُ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا أَفْعَلُ» قَالَ وَبَقِيَ أَرْبَعٌ غُرُّ الذُّرَى فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا مُوسَى خُذْهُنَّ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَسْتَحِي سَأَلْتُكَ فَمَنَعْتَنِي وَحَلَفْتُ فَأَشْفَقْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهْمٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي إِذَا حَلَفْتُ فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ كَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَأَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ أَفْضَلُ»
