أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَاضِي، قَالَا: ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا أَبُو أُمَيَّةَ الطَّرَسُوسِيُّ، ثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثَنَا أَبُو زِيَادٍ الْفُقَيْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَرِيزٍ:
أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يُهْدِي إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ فَخِذَ جَزُورٍ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ يُخَاصِمُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا قَضَاءً فَصْلًا كَمَا تُفْصَلُ الْفَخِذُ مِنَ الْجَزُورِ، قَالَ: فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ إِلَى عُمَّالِهِ: لَا تَقْبَلُوا الْهَدْيَ؛ فَإِنَّهَا رِشْوَةٌ

A man used to give ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may God be pleased with him) the thigh of a slaughtered camel every year. He said: Then he came disputing before ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may God be pleased with him) and said: O Commander of the Believers, judge between us with a decisive judgement, just as the thigh is cut off from the camel. He said: So ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may God be pleased with him) wrote to his governors: Do not accept gifts, for they are a bribe.
