Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2565 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Sayyiduna
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ ، قَالَ : نَا سَهْلُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ قَالَ : نَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ : 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 فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ .
It is narrated from Imam al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do not ask for leadership (a position of authority), for if you are given it upon asking, you will be left to it (alone); and if you are given it without asking, you will be helped in it. And when you swear an oath about something, then see something else better than it, make expiation for your oath and do that which is better."
