We, a group of Al-Ash'ariyûn people went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him to give us something to ride, but the Prophet (ﷺ) refused. Then we asked him for the second time to give us something to ride, but the Prophet (ﷺ) took an oath that he would not give us anything to ride. After a while, some camels of booty were brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) [and he ordered that five camels be given to us. When we took those camels, we said, "We have made the Prophet (ﷺ) forget his oath, so we will never be successful after this." So I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! You took an oath that you would not give us anything to ride, but you have given us." He said, "Yes, for if I take an oath and later I see a better solution than that, I act on the later (and gave the expiation of that oath)." In another quotation it is said that the (Prophet ﷺ) expiated it (that oath). [5:668-0.B]
