Abd al-Rahman b. Samura reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me:Abd al-Rahman b. Samura, don't ask for authority for if it is granted to you for asking for it, you would be commissioned for it (without having the support of Allah), but if you are granted it without your asking for it. You would be helped (by Allah) in it. And when you take an oath and find something else better than that, expiate for (breaking) your oath, and do that which is better. This hadith has also been transmitted on the authority of Ibn Farrukh. The above hadith is narratted through another chain of transmittersRapporté par Abd al-Rahman ibn Samura رضي الله عنه : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ m’a dit : « Abd al-Rahman ibn Samura, ne cherche pas à obtenir une autorité, car si on te la donne parce que tu l’as demandée, tu en seras responsable (sans l’aide d’Allah), mais si on te la donne sans que tu l’aies demandée, tu seras aidé par Allah. Et quand tu fais un serment et trouves ensuite quelque chose de mieux, expie ton serment et fais ce qui est mieux. » Ce hadith a aussi été transmis par Ibn Farrukh.
