Muhammad bin Abdul-Ala As-Sanani narrated to us: Al-Mutamir bin Sulayman narrated to us, from Yunus (that is, Ibn Ubaid); Al-Hasan narrated to us, from Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “O Abdur-Rahman, do not ask for authority. If it is granted to you because you asked for it, you will be left to bear it on your own; but if it comes to you without your asking, you will be helped in it. If you swear an oath and then see that something else is better, do what is better and make expiation for your oath.” There are also reports on this topic from Ali, Jabir, Adi bin Hatim, Abu Ad-Darda, Anas, Aishah, Abdullah bin Amr, Abu Hurairah, Umm Salamah, and Abu Musa. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah is Hasan Sahih.
