أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَوْنٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ زَاذَانَ وَحُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ وَيُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ جَمِيعًا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ الْقُرَشِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ لَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُوتِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِنْ أُوتِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِذَا آلَيْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكِ»

✧ «O 'Abd al-Rahman, do not ask for leadership, 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 and see something else better, then do what is better and expiate for your oath.»

- 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.
in صحيح ابن حبان, p. 4484
