حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنِ الْحَسَن ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ ، لَا تَسْأَلِ الْإِمَارَةَ ، 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 .

Urdu Translation

ہم سے ابومعمر نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے عبدالوارث نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے یونس نے بیان کیا، ان سے حسن نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ   مجھ سے عبدالرحمٰن بن سمرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ ان سے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”اے عبدالرحمٰن ابن سمرہ! حکومت طلب مت کرنا کیونکہ اگر تمہیں مانگنے کے بعد امیری ملی تو تم اس کے حوالے کر دئیے جاؤ گے اور اگر تمہیں مانگے بغیر ملی تو اس میں تمہاری مدد کی جائے گی اور اگر تم کسی بات پر قسم کھا لو اور پھر اس کے سوا دوسری چیز میں بھلائی دیکھو تو وہ کرو جس میں بھلائی ہو اور اپنی قسم کا کفارہ ادا کر دو۔“

English Translation

Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura: Allah's Apostle 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.
