[Machine] Al-Qa'ani narrated that Abdul Rahman ibn Abi Al-Mawali reported from Abdullah ibn Al-Hasan who reported from Umm Salamah that she swore an oath regarding a slave whom she had freed. She said, "May Allah never free him from the Fire if I were to free him." Then she stayed until Allah willed. She said, "Glory be to Allah! I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever takes an oath and then sees something better, let him expiate for his oath and do what is better.'" So I freed the slave and expiated for my oath.
