Is it valid to make an exception before or after the oath, and does the expiation not apply to it?

Question : In a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 21:305, the scholars say, O Shaykh, that if a person says this, then if he swears an oath during the day and does not make an exception, it is as if he had made an exception.
Answer : That is not correct. A valid acquisition requires that the exception be simultaneous with the thing from which the exception is made, and the condition be simultaneous with the conditioned thing. Otherwise, everyone would say, "O Allah, I do not swear an oath except that I am making a condition in it." This is not sufficient, because the intention is not sufficient.
Whatever oath I swear, your will is before me regarding it.
ما حلفت من حلف فمشيئتك بين يدي ذلكAnswer : That is not correct. A valid acquisition requires that the exception be simultaneous with the thing from which the exception is made, and the condition be simultaneous with the conditioned thing. Otherwise, everyone would say, "O Allah, I do not swear an oath except that I am making a condition in it." This is not sufficient, because the intention is not sufficient.
