حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، لَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُوتِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُوتِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ.

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: “O ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, do not ask for authority, for if you are given it by asking, you will be left to it; and if you are given it without asking, you will be helped in it. And if you swear an oath, then see something else better than it, then expiate your oath and do that which is better.”
