Volume 8, Book 79, Number 715:
Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Samura:
Allah’s Apostle said, “(O ‘Abdur-Rahman!) Do not seek to be a ruler, for, if you are given the au –
thority of ruling without your asking for it, then Allah will help you; but if you are given it by your
asking, then you will be held responsible for it (i.e. Allah will not help you ) . And if you take an oath
to do something and later on find another thing, better than that, then do what is better and make
expiation for (the dissolution of) your oath.”
