Bulugh al-Maram, Book 13, Hadith 4 (In-Book)

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samura (RA): Allah's Messenger said: "When you swear an oath and then consider something else to be better than it, make atonement for your oath and do the thing that is better." [Agreed upon]. A wording of al-Bukhari has: "Do the thing that is better and make atonement for your oath." In a narration by Abu Dawud: "Make atonement for your oath, then do the thing that is better." [The chains of narrators of both Ahadith are Sahih (authentic)].
