Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 12892

وَعَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ : كَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ اسْمُهُ : عَبْدُ كَلُّوبٍ ، فَسَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، فَمَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَقَالَ : " تَعَالَ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ " . فَقَالَ لَهُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَا تَطْلُبِ الْإِمَارَةَ ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ طَلَبْتَهَا فَأَوْلَيْتَهَا ، وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَطْلُبْهَا أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ مُرْسَلًا مِنْ طَرِيقِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Ikrimah narrates: The name of Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Samurah was Abd Kallub, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had named him Abd al-Rahman. Once he passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing ablution (wudu). He said: "Abd al-Rahman, come here!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Never seek a position of authority, for if you seek it and are given it, you will be left to it on your own; and if you do not seek it, you will be helped in it."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat as a mursal report through Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Kaysan, and that narrator is da'if (weak).
