وَعَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ زَاذَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ. عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَرَأَيْتَ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، وَلَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا

✧ If you swear an oath and then see something better than it, do that which is better and expiate for your oath. Do not ask for leadership, for if you are given it by asking, you will be left to it; but if you are given it without asking, you will be helped in it.
