[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ, when he used to swear by an oath, he would not break it until the expiation for the oath was revealed. Then he ﷺ would say, "I do not swear by an oath and then see something better than it except that I fulfill the better one and compensate for my oath."
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ لَمْ يَحْنَثْ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ كَفَّارَةُ الْيَمِينِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَأَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَكَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي»
