حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ لاَ تَسْأَلِ الإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَكَفِّرْ يَمِينَكَ، وَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O `Abdur-Rahman! Do not seek to be a ruler, for if you are given authority on your demand then you will be held responsible for it, but if you are given it without asking (for it), then you will be helped (by Allah) in it. If you ever take an oath to do something and later on you find that something else is better, then you should expiate your oath and do what is better

Abdur Rahman bin Samura bataate hain: Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Aye Abdur Rahman! Hukmraan banne ki koshish mat karo, kyunke agar tumhein ye zimmedaari maang kar di jaaye, to tum iske liye zimmedaar thehraaye jaaoge, magar agar tumhein ye bina maange di jaaye, to tumhein isme (Allah ki taraf se) madad milegi. Agar tum kabhi kisi kaam ke liye qasam khaao aur baad mein tumhein pata chale ke koi doosri cheez behtar hai, to tumhein apni qasam ka kaffara adaa karke jo behtar hai wo karna chaahiye.'
