سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُقْسِمُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فِي الطَّعَامِ لِيَأْكُلَ فَلَمْ يَطْعَمْ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْكَفَّارَةُ وَ مَا الْيَمِينُ الَّتِي تَجِبُ فِيهَا الْكَفَّارَةُ فَقَالَ الْكَفَّارَةُ فِي الَّذِي يَحْلِفُ عَلَى الْمَتَاعِ أَنْ لَا يَبِيعَهُ وَ لَا يَشْتَرِيَهُ ثُمَّ يَبْدُو لَهُ فِيهِ فَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ إِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ إِتْيَانُهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ تَرْكِهِ فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَ لَا كَفَّارَةَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ مِنْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Abdullah, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who swore upon the man regarding the food to let him eat, but he did not feed him. Is there the expiation upon him regarding that? And what is the oath in which the expiation is Obligated?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The expiation is in that which is sworn upon the chattels that he would not sell it, and not buy it, then he changes (his mind) regarding it, so he disbelieves in his oath; and if he swears upon something, and the doing of which is better than leaving it, so let him do that which is better, and there would be no expiation upon him. But rather, that is from the footsteps of the Satan<sup>la</sup>’.
