Seek not positions of power/authority; Do what is best even if it means breaking a promise made earlier on; Make expiations after breaking a promise/oath

This hadith speaks about the responsibility that comes with power and authority. It advises us not to seek out positions of power or authority because if we are given such a position, we will be held responsible for our actions while in that position. However, if we are given such a position without asking for it then Allah will help us in fulfilling our duties as rulers. Additionally, this hadith also speaks about making oaths and promises; if after making an oath or promise we find something else which is better than what was initially promised then we should do the better thing instead and make expiation for breaking our initial promise or oath. This hadith teaches us that when taking on positions of power or authority one must be aware of their responsibilities as well as being mindful when making promises so that they can fulfill them properly. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us to always strive towards doing what is best even if it means breaking a promise made earlier on; by doing so one can still maintain their integrity by making expiations afterwards.
