حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثنا أَبُو سَهْلٍ بِشْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ ثنا أَبُو صَالِحٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ
لَمَّا وَلِيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ مِنْكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُؤْنِسُونَ مِنِّي شِدَّةً وَغِلْظَةً وَذَلِكَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكُنْتُ عَبْدَهُ وَخَادِمَهُ وَكَانَ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ {بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ} فَكُنْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ كَالسَّيْفِ الْمَسْلُولِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَغْمِدَنِي أَوْ يَنْهَانِي عَنْ أَمَرٍ فَأَكُفَّ وَإِلَّا أَقْدَمْتُ عَلَى النَّاسِ لِمَكَانِ لِينِهِ»

✧ When 'Umar b. al-Khattab became caliph, he addressed the people from the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: 'O people, I know that you perceive severity and harshness from me. That is because I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I was his servant and attendant. He was, as Allah said, {with the believers kind and merciful}. I was before him like a drawn sword, unless he sheathed me or forbade me from a matter, then I would refrain; otherwise I would advance upon the people because of his gentleness.'
