Hadith 1195
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ ، عَنْ حَيَّانَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَتَرَمَّى بِأَسْهُمٍ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ كُسِفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَنَبَذْتُهُنَّ ، وَقُلْتُ : لَأَنْظُرَنَّ مَا أَحْدَثَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي كُسُوفُ الشَّمْسِ الْيَوْمَ ؟ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُو رَافِعٌ يَدَيْهِ يُسَبِّحُ وَيُحَمِّدُ وَيُهَلِّلُ وَيَدْعُو حَتَّى حُسِرَ عَنِ الشَّمْسِ ، فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَتَيْنِ وَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ " .
Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah: During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ I was shooting some arrows when an eclipse of the sun tok place. I, therefore, threw them (the arrows) away and said: I must see how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ acts in a solar eclipse today. So I came to him; he was standing (in prayer) raising his hands, glorifying Allah, praising Him, acknowledging that He is the only Deity, and making supplication till the sun was clear. He then recited two surahs and prayed two rak'ahs.
Hadith 2703
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي لُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ بِكَابُلَ ، فَأَصَابَ النَّاسُ غَنِيمَةً فَانْتَهَبُوهَا فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنِ النُّهْبَى فَرَدُّوا مَا أَخَذُوا فَقَسَمَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ .
Narrated Abdur Rahman ibn Samurah ibn Kabul: AbuLabid said: We were with Abdur Rahman ibn Samurah ibn Kabul. The people got booty and plundered it. He stood and addressed (the people): I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibiting getting property from the booty before its distribution. Therefore, they returned what they had taken, He then distributed it among them.
Hadith 2929
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ ، وَمَنْصُورٌ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ لَا تَسْأَلِ الإِمَارَةَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ فِيهَا إِلَى نَفْسِكَ وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا " .
Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Abdul al-Rahman bin Samurah, do not ask for the position of commander, for if you are given it after asking you will be left to discharge it yourself, but if you are given it without asking you will be helped to discharge it.
Hadith 3277
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ ، وَمَنْصُورٌ يَعْنِيَ ابْنَ زَاذَانَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ ، إِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ ، فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا ، فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ ، وَكَفِّرْ يَمِينَكَ "قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : سَمِعْت أَحْمَدَ يُرَخِّصُ فِيهَا الْكَفَّارَةَ قَبْلَ الْحِنْثِ .
Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah: The Prophet ﷺ said to me: Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah, when you swear an oath and consider something else to be better than it, do the thing that is beter and make atonement for your oath. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad (b. Hanbal) permitting to make atonement before breaking the oath.
Hadith 3278
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، نَحْوَهُ . قَالَ : فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ ، ثُمَّ ائْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : أَحَادِيثُ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ، وَعَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ رُوِيَ عَنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي بَعْضِ الرِّوَايَةِ الْحِنْثُ قَبْلَ الْكَفَّارَةِ ، وَفِي بَعْضِ الرِّوَايَةِ الْكَفَّارَةُ قَبْلَ الْحِنْثِ .
A similar tradition has been transmitted by Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah through a different chain if narrators. This version has: "Make atonement for your oath and then do the thing that is better. " Abu Dawud said: The version of this tradition transmitted by Abu Musa al-Ashari, Adi bin Hatim and Abu Hurairah are variant. Some of them indicate breaking the oath before making atonement, and other making atonement before breaking the oath.
