حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُوسَى اللَّاحُونِيُّ قَالَ: نَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، لَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ

✧ O ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, do not ask for authority, for if you are given it without asking, you will be helped in it, but if you are given it after asking, you will be left to it. And if you swear an oath, then see something else better than it, do that which is better and expiate your oath.
