حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْنَثُ فِي يَمِينٍ قَطُّ، حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ كَفَّارَةَ الْيَمِينِ وَقَالَ لاَ أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتُ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلاَّ أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَكَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, আবূ বাকর (রাঃ) কক্ষনো শপথ ভঙ্গ করেননি, যতক্ষণ না আল্লাহ্ কসমের কাফ্ফারা সংবলিত আয়াত অবতীর্ণ করেন। তিনি বলতেন, আমি কসম করি। অতঃপর যদি এর চেয়ে উত্তমটি দেখতে পাই তবে উত্তমটিই করি এবং আমার শপথ ভাঙ্গার জন্য কাফ্‌ফারা দেই। [৪৬১৪] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬১৬০, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
