حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ سَعِيدٌ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي فِرَاسٍ قَالَخَطَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ
خَطَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَلَا إِنَّا إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَعْرِفُكُمْ إِذْ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، وَإِذْ يَنْزِلُ الْوَحْيُ، وَإِذْ يُنَبِّئُنَا اللهُ مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدِ انْطَلَقَ، وَقَدِ انْقَطَعَ الْوَحْيُ، وَإِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُكُمْ بِمَا نَقُولُ لَكُمْ: مَنْ أَظْهَرَ مِنْكُمْ خَيْرًا ظَنَنَّا بِهِ خَيْرًا، وَأَحْبَبْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَمَنْ أَظْهَرَ لَنَا شَرًّا ظَنَنَّا بِهِ شَرًّا، وَأَبْغَضْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ، سَرَائِرُكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّكُمْ، أَلَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ أَتَى عَلَيَّ حِينٌ، وَأَنَا أَحْسِبُ أَنَّ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ يُرِيدُ اللهَ وَمَا عِنْدَهُ، فَقَدْ خُيِّلَ إِلَيَّ بِأَخَرَةٍ أَلَا إِنَّ رِجَالًا قَدْ قَرَؤُوهُ يُرِيدُونَ بِهِ مَا عِنْدَ النَّاسِ فَأَرِيدُوا اللهَ بِقِرَاءَتِكُمْ، وَأَرِيدُوهُ بِأَعْمَالِكُمْ. أَلَا إِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا أُرْسِلُ عُمَّالِي إِلَيْكُمْ لِيَضْرِبُوا أَبْشَارَكُمْ، وَلَا لِيَأْخُذُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ أُرْسِلُهُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ لِيُعَلِّمُوكُمْ دِينَكُمْ، وَسُنَّتَكُمْ فَمَنْ فُعِلَ بِهِ شَيْءٌ سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَلْيَرْفَعْهُ إِلَيَّ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِذَا لَأُقِصَّنَّهُ مِنْهُ، فَوَثَبَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَوَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى رَعِيَّةٍ، فَأَدَّبَ بَعْضَ رَعِيَّتِهِ أَئِنَّكَ لَمُقْتَصُّهُ مِنْهُ ؟ قَالَ: إِي وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ عُمَرَ بِيَدِهِ، إِذَا لَأُقِصَّنَّهُ مِنْهُ، أَنَّى لَا أُقِصُّهُ مِنْهُ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُقِصُّ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، أَلَا لَا تَضْرِبُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَتُذِلُّوهُمْ، وَلَا تُجَمِّرُوهُمْ فَتَفْتِنُوهُمْ، وَلَا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ حُقُوقَهُمْ فَتُكَفِّرُوهُمْ، وَلَا تُنْزِلُوهُمُ الْغِيَاضَ فَتُضَيِّعُوهُمْ.

- Abū Firās Qālakhaṭab ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb
✧ Umar b. al-Khattab delivered a sermon and said: 'O people, we used to know you while the Prophet ﷺ was among us and revelation came down, and God informed us of your news. Now the Prophet ﷺ has passed away and revelation has ceased. We know you only by what we say to you: whoever among you shows good, we think good of him and love him for it; whoever shows us evil, we think evil of him and hate him for it. Your inner secrets are between you and your Lord. There was a time when I thought that whoever recited the Quran desired God and what is with Him, but lately it has seemed to me that some men recite it desiring what people have. So desire God with your recitation, and desire Him with your deeds. By God, I do not send my agents to you to strike your bodies or take your wealth, but I send them to teach you your religion and your Sunnah. If anything other than that is done to anyone, let him bring it to me, for by Him in whose hand is my soul, I will exact retribution for him.' Amr b. al-As jumped up and said, 'O Commander of the Faithful, what if a Muslim is in charge of a flock and disciplines one of his flock—will you exact retribution from him?' He said, 'Yes, by Him in whose hand is Umar's soul, I will exact retribution from him. How could I not exact retribution from him when I saw the Messenger of God ﷺ exact retribution from himself? Do not strike the Muslims and humiliate them, do not confine them and tempt them, do not withhold their rights and cause them to disbelieve, and do not send them to the forests and neglect them.'
