حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ لاَ تَسْأَلِ الإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَكَفِّرْ يَمِينَكَ، وَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ ‏"‏.

English translation
Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O `Abdur-Rahman! Do not seek to be a ruler, for if you are given authority on your demand then you will be held responsible for it, but if you are given it without asking (for it), then you will be helped (by Allah) in it. If you ever take an oath to do something and later on you find that something else is better, then you should expiate your oath and do what is better
বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আবদুর রহমান ইবনু সামুরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ হে ‘আবদুর রহমান ইবনু সামুরাহ! তুমি নেতৃত্ব চেও না। কারণ চাওয়ার পর যদি তোমাকে তা দেয়া হয়, তবে তার দায়িত্ব তোমার উপরই বর্তাবে। আর যদি চাওয়া ছাড়াই তা তোমাকে দেয়া হয় তবে এ ক্ষেত্রে তোমাকে সাহায্য করা হবে। আর কোন বিষয়ে কসম করার পর, তার বিপরীত দিকটিকে যদি তার চেয়ে কল্যাণকর মনে কর, তাহলে কসমের কাফ্‌ফারা আদায় কর এবং কল্যাণকর কাজটি বাস্তবায়িত করো। [৬৬২২] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৬৪৭, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
