[Machine] I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking his help to carry something for a group of my people. He said, "By Allah, I cannot carry anything for you, and by Allah, I do not have anything to carry you with." This happened twice. Then the Prophet ﷺ came with three loads of foodstuff (dates) tied and sent to us. We carried them and when he left, I said to my companions, "I think that the Prophet ﷺ blessed us in this task and made it easier for us, for he had taken an oath not to do so." Then we went to him and informed him about it. He said, "I did not remember my oath, but when I saw you carrying the loads, I remembered it as I disliked to unload the burden from you while you were already on it, and I prefer to fulfil my oath as best as I can."
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْتَحْمِلُهُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قَوْمِي فَقَالَ «وَاللهِ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ وَاللهِ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ» مَرَّتَيْنِ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ثَلَاثَةُ أَحْمَالٍ مِنْ غُرِّ الذُّرَى فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَحَمَلَنَا فَلَمَّا مَضَيْنَا بِهِ قُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي مَا أُرَاهُ يُبَارَكُ لَنَا فِيهَا وَقَدْ حَلَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ لَا يَحْمِلَنَا فَحَمَلَنَا فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَقَالَ «لَمْ أَنْسَ يَمِينِي وَلَكِنْ إِذَا حَلَفْتُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتُ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَعَلْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَكَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي»
