أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خَمِيرَوَيْهِ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ثَنَا أَبِي، ثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ، قَالَ:
كَتَبَ عُمَرُ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى ؓ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يُؤَدُّونَ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ مَا أَدَّى الْإِمَامُ إِلَى اللهِ، وَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ إِذَا رَتَعَ رَتَعَتِ الرَّعِيَّةُ، وَإِنَّهُ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ نَفْرَةٌ عَنْ سُلْطَانِهِمْ، وَإِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ يُدْرِكَنِي وَإِيَّاكُمْ ضَغَائِنُ مَحْمُولَةٌ وَأَهْوَاءٌ مُتَّبَعَةٌ، وَدُنْيَا مُؤْثَرَةٌ، فَأَقِيمُوا الْحَقَّ وَلَوْ سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ

ʿUmar wrote to Abū Mūsā (may God be pleased with them both): People will render to the Imam what the Imam renders to God. And if the Imam grazes freely, the subjects will graze freely. A time is near when people will feel an aversion toward their ruler. I seek refuge in God that grudges that are carried, desires that are followed, and a world that is preferred should overtake me and you. So uphold the truth, even if only for an hour of the day.
