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»
