أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ:
أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنِ اسْتَعْمَلْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ خَيْرَ مَنْ أَعْلَمُ، وَأَمَرْتُهُ بِالْعَدْلِ، أَقَضَيْتُ مَا عَلَيَّ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " لَا، حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ فِي عَمَلِهِ، أَعَمِلَ مَا أَمَرْتُهُ أَمْ لَا
