حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نُوحِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، نَا الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأُبُلِّيُّ، نَا عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، وَوَاصِلِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ الْغَزَّالِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، لَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ سَأَلْتَهَا وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْأَلْهَا أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَائْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ

✧ O 'Abd al-Rahman, do not ask for authority, for if you ask for it, you will be left to it, and if you do not ask for it, you will be helped with it. And when you swear an oath and then see something better than it, do that which is better and expiate your oath.
