حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، وَمَنْصُورٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ لاَ تَسْأَلِ الإِمَارَةَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ فِيهَا إِلَى نَفْسِكَ وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا ‏"‏ .

English translation
Narrated 'Abd al-Rahman b. Samurah: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: 'Abdul al-Rahman b. 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
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। ‘আব্দুর রাহমান ইবনু সামুরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদা রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাকে বললেনঃ হে আব্দুর রাহমান ইবনু সামুরাহ! রাষ্ট্রীয় পদ চেয়ে নিবে না। কারণ তোমার চাওয়ার কারণে তোমাকে পদ দেয়া হলে এর দায়-দায়িত্ব তোমার উপরই বর্তাবে (তুমি আল্লাহর সাহায্য পাবে না)। আর চাওয়া ছাড়া তোমাকে নেতৃত্ব পদ দেয়া হলে তুমি দায়িত্ব পালনে (আল্লাহর পক্ষ থেকে) সাহায্য পাবে।
