حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ وَمَنْصُورٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ

لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ لاَ تَسْأَلِ الإِمَارَةَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ فِيهَا إِلَى نَفْسِكَ وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا

    machine translationAnd this chain is sound (ṣaḥīḥ).

  • Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

    رواية أهل المدينة في هذا أثبت وأكثر وما أظن حديث هشيم هذا إلا وهما لأن عبيد الله بن عمر أثبت منه

    machine translationThe narration of the people of Medina on this point is more firmly established and more numerous, and I think this ḥadīth of Hushaym is nothing but an error (wahm), because ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿUmar is more reliable (athbat) than he.
