provided us with that. They (some of the Prophet's Companions) came and
informed him about this (rankling of theirs), whereupon he said: It was not
I who provided you with a mount, but Allah has provided you with that. So

a person from Banu Tamim visited him. His complexion was red having the
resemblance of a slave. He said to him: Come and (join me in food). He
showed reluctance. He (Abu Masa) said: Come on, for I saw Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) eating it (fowl's meat), whereupon that person said:
I saw it eating something (of filth and rubbish) and I found it repugnant
and took an oath that I would never eat that. He (Abu Muds) said: Come, so
that I would narrate to you about that (the incident pertaining to vow).
(And he narrated thus) : I came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
along with a group of people belonging to the tribe of Ash'ari, asking him
to provide us with riding camels. He (the Holy Prophet) said: By Allah, I
cannot provide you with riding animals. And there is nothing with me with
which I can provide you a mount. We stayed (for some time) there as Allah
willed, and there was brought to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
booty of camels. He called us and commanded that we should be given five
white humped camels. As we were about to go back, some of us said to the
other: As we made Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) forget oath,
there would be no blessing for us (in his gift). We went back to him and
said: Allah's Messenger, we came to you to provide us with riding animals
and you took an oath that you would never equip us with mounts and then you
have provided us with the riding beasts Allali's Messenger, have you
forgotten ? Thereupon he said: I swear by Allah that if Allah so wills, I
shall not swear an oath, and then consider something else to be better than
it without making atonement for my oath and doing the thing that is better.
So you go; Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has given you riding animals.
