حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، ثَنَا الصَّلْتُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، نَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ:
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، لَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا مِنْ 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

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: "O ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, do not ask for authority. If you are given it without asking, you will be assisted in it; if you are given it through asking, you will be left to it. If you swear an oath and then see something better than it, do the better thing and make expiation for your oath."
