سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْ كَفَّارَةِ الْيَمِينِ فَقَالَ يَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ ضَعُفَ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ وَ عَجَزَ قَالَ يَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَى عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ عَجَزَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ وَ لَا يَعُدْ فَإِنَّهُ أَفْضَلُ الْكَفَّارَةِ وَ أَقْصَاهُ وَ أَدْنَاهُ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ رَبَّهُ وَ يُظْهِرُ تَوْبَةً وَ نَدَامَةً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about something from en expiation for the oath. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should Fast for three days’. I said, ‘He is weak from the Fasting and is frustrated (from doing it)’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should give in charity to ten poor ones’. I said, ‘He is frustrated from that’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So let him seek Forgiveness of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and he should not repeat it, for it is the best of the expiations, and the most economical, and lowest of it. So let him seek Forgiveness of his Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, and display his repentance, and his remorse’.
