حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ، نَا كَامِلُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، نَا أَبُو الْأَشْهَبِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ "

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