It is narrated from Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) that the name of Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) was "Abd Kallub", so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) named him "Abd al-Rahman". Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by him while he was performing ablution, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abd al-Rahman! Come here." Then the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Do not seek positions of authority (leadership and office), for if you obtain it by asking for it, you will be left to it (on your own), and if it is given to you without your asking, you will be helped in it."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abdullah bin Kaysan (may Allah have mercy on him), and none narrated it from Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him) except his son Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him), while Abu al-Darda' (Abd al-Aziz bin al-Munib (may Allah have mercy on him)) is alone in narrating it."
