حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ لاَ تَسْأَلِ الإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُوتِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُوتِيتَهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، وَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ ‏"‏.

Narrator: `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura

English translation
Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura! Do not seek to be a ruler, because if you are given authority for it, then you will be held responsible for it, but if you are given it without asking for it, then you will be helped in it (by Allah): and whenever you take an oath to do something and later you find that something else is better than the first, then do the better one and make expiation for your oath
বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আবদুর রহমান ইবনু সামুরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ হে ‘আবদুর রহমান ইবনু সামুরাহ! তুমি নেতৃত্ব চেয়ো না। কারণ, চাওয়ার পর যদি নেতৃত্ব পাও তবে এর দিকে তোমাকে সোপর্দ করে দেয়া হবে। আর যদি না চেয়ে তা পাও তবে তোমাকে এ বিষয়ে সাহায্য করা হবে। কোন কিছুর ব্যাপারে যদি শপথ কর আর তা ছাড়া অন্য কিছুর ভিতর কল্যাণ দেখতে পাও, তবে নিজ শপথের কাফ্ফারা আদায় করে তাত্থেকে উত্তমটি গ্রহণ কর। [৬৭২২, ৭১৪৬, ৭১৪৭; মুসলিম ২৭/৩, হাঃ ১৬৫২, আহমাদ ২০৬৪২] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬১৬১, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
