( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ: عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثَنَا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، قَالَ:
اسْتَعْمَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَجَاءَ يَأْخُذُ عَهْدَهُ، قَالَ: فَأُتِيَ عُمَرُ ؓ بِبَعْضِ وَلَدِهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ، قَالَ: أَتُقَبِّلُ هَذَا ؟ مَا قَبَّلْتُ وَلَدًا قَطُّ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَأَنْتَ بِالنَّاسِ أَقَلُّ رَحْمَةً هَاتِ عَهْدَنَا لَا تَعْمَلْ لِي عَمَلًا أَبَدًا

ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may God be pleased with him) appointed a man from Banū Asad to a post, and he came to receive his letter of appointment. He said: Some of ʿUmar's children were brought to him and he kissed one. The man said: Do you kiss this one? I have never kissed a child. ʿUmar said: Then you are even less merciful towards the people. Hand back our covenant. You shall never work for me in any post.
