حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ، ثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ وَسِمَاكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ وَهِشَامٍ، فِي آخَرِينَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ:
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، لَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ ".

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: O 'Abd al-Rahman, do not ask for leadership, for if you are given it upon request, you will be left to it, and if you are given it without request, you will be helped in it. And if you swear an oath and then see something better than it, do what is better and expiate your oath.
