"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever swears an oath, then sees something better than it, let him leave his oath, and do that which is better, and offer expiation for it.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَدَعْ يَمِينَهُ وَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَلْيُكَفِّرْهَا
He who took an oath and then found another thing better than (this) should expiate for the oath (broken) by him and do (the better thing).
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَفْعَلْ
He who took an oath and (later on) found another thing better than that, he should do that which is better, and expiate for the vow (broken by him).
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ

When anyone amongst you takes an oath, but he finds (something) better than that he should expiate (the breaking of the oath), and do that which is better.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا حَلَفَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى الْيَمِينِ فَرَأَى خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيُكَفِّرْهَا وَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ
You asked me for one hundred dirhams and I am the son of Hatim; by Allah, I will not give you. But then he said: (I would have done that) if I had not heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: He who takes an oath, but then finds something better than that, should do that which is better.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ ثُمَّ رَأَى خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ
"Whoever swears an oath, then sees something better than it, let him do that which is better."

"The Prophet said to me: 'If you swear an oath, and you see something that is better, then do that which is better and offer expiation for your oath.'"
لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا آلَيْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: An oath or a vow about something over which a human being has no control, and to disobey Allah, and to break ties of relationship is not binding. If anyone takes an oath and then considers something else better than it, he should give it up, and do what is better, for leaving it is its atonement. Abu Dawud said: All sound traditions from the Prophet ﷺ say: "He should make atonement for his oath," except those versions which are not reliable. Abu Dawud said: I said to Ahmad: Yahya b. Sa'id (al-Qattan) has transmitted this tradition from Yahya b. 'Ubaid Allah. He (Ahmad b. Hanbal) said: But he gave it up after that, and he was competent for doing it. Ahmad said: His (Yahya b. 'Ubaid Allah's) tradition are munkar (rejected) and his father is not known.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ نَذْرَ وَلاَ يَمِينَ فِيمَا لاَ يَمْلِكُ ابْنُ آدَمَ وَلاَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ فِي قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ وَمَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَدَعْهَا وَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ فَإِنَّ تَرْكَهَا كَفَّارَتُهَا
That the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever takes an oath, and then he sees that something else is better than it, then he should make atonement for his oath and then do it."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَفْعَلْ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said: "Whoever swears an oath then sees that something else is better than it, let him do that which is better and offer expiation for what he swore about. "
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ
"Whoever swears an oath then sees that something else is better than it, let him not do it, and his leaving it is the expiation for it. "
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَلْيَتْرُكْهَا فَإِنَّ تَرْكَهَا كَفَّارَتُهَا
Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his father from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever makes an oath and then sees that something else would be better than it, should do kaffara for his oath and do what is better." Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "Anyone who says that he has a vow but does not mention the name of Allah, is still obliged to make the kaffara for an oath (if he breaks it)". Malik said, "Emphasis is when a man swears one thing several times, repeating the oath in his speech time after time. For instance, the statement, 'By Allah, I will not decrease it from such-and-such,' sworn three times or more. The kaffara of that is like the kaffara of one oath. If a man swears, 'I will not eat this food or wear these clothes or enter this house,' that is all in one oath, and he is only obliged to do one kaffara. It is the same for a man who says to his wife, 'You are divorced if I clothe you in this garment or let you go to the mosque,' and it is one entire statement in the normal pattern of speech. If he breaks any of that oath, divorce is necessary, and there is no breaking of oath after that in whatever he does. There is only one oath to be broken in that." Malik said, "What we do about a woman who makes a vow without her husband's permission is that she is allowed to do so and she must fulfill it, if it only concerns her own person and will not harm her husband. If, however, it will harm her husband, he may forbid her to fulfill it, but it remains an obligation against her until she has the opportunity to complete it."

"لَا أَحْلفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَأَرَى غَيرَهَا خَيرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا كَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يميني ثُمَّ أَتَيتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيرٌ".
"لا تَحلفُوا إلا بِاللهِ، فَمنْ حَلَفَ باللهِ فَليَصْدُق، وَمَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرأَى غيرَها خيرًا منها، فَليَعملِ الذِي هُوَ خَيرٌ، وليكُفِّرْ عَنْ يَمينه".
"مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِين فَرَأَى غَيرَهَا خَيرًا مِنْهَا، فَلْيَأتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَير وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ".

"من حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمينٍ فَرَأَى غَيرَهَا خَيرًا منْهَا، فَأَتى الَّذي هُوَ خَير فَهُوَ كَفَّارَتُهُ".
"مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَى غَيرَهَا خَيرًا مِنْهَا فَليأتِهَا، فَإنَّهَا كَفَّارَتُهَا إِلا طَلاقٌ أَو عِتَاقٌ".
"لَمْ أَنْسَ يَمِينِى، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا حَلفْتُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأيتُ غَيرَهَا خَيرًا مِنْهَا فَعَلتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيرٌ، وَكَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينى".
"عن عمرَ قال: من حلَف على يمينٍ فرأى خيرًا مِنها فليأتِ الذى هو خيرٌ ولِيُكَفِّر عن يَمينهِ".
