حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ، لاَ تَسْأَلِ الإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ ‏"‏.

Narrator: `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura

English translation
Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura! Do not seek to be a ruler, for if you are given authority on your demand, 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 do what is better and make expiation for your oath
বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আবদুর রহমান ইবনু সামুরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাকে বলেছেনঃ হে ‘আবদুর রহমান ইবনু সামুরাহ! নেতৃত্ব চেয়ে নিও না। কেননা, যদি চাওয়ার পর তোমাকে তা দেয়া হয়, তাহলে তার সকল দায়িত্বভার তোমার উপরই অর্পিত হবে। আর যদি না চাওয়া সত্ত্বেও তোমাকে তা দেয়া হয়, তাহলে এ ক্ষেত্রে (আল্লাহর পক্ষ থেকে) সহযোগিতা করা হবে। আর কোন বিষয়ে কসম করার পর তার বিপরীত দিকটিকে যদি উত্তম বলে মনে কর, তাহলে উত্তম কাজটিই করবে আর তোমার কসমের কাফ্‌ফারা আদায় করে দিবে। [৬৬২২] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৬৪৮, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
