حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ لِى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ لاَ تَسْأَلِ الإِمَارَةَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ وُكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا وَإِنْ أُعْطِيتَهَا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَائْتِ الَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ ». قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْجُلُودِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْمَاسَرْجَسِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ. بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ.
'Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to me: 'O 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah, do not seek authority, for if you are given it when you ask for it, you will be left on your own without the support of Allah. But if you are given it without asking for it, you will be helped (by Allah). If you swear to do something then see that something else is better than it, then offer expiation for your oath and do that which is better."'

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
