أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، سَمِعْتُ الْفُضَيْلَ
يَقُولُ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ صَفْوَانَ، دَخَلَ عَلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ: عِظْنِي يَا خَالِدُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يَرْضَ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَحَدٌ فَوْقَكَ، فَلَا يَرْضَى أَنْ يَكُونَ أَحَدٌ أَوْلَى بالشُّكْرِ مِنْكَ " قَالَ: فَبَكَى عُمَرُ حَتَّى غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ، فَقَالَ: هِيهِ يَا خَالِدُ، لَمْ يَرْضَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فَوْقِي فَوَاللهِ لَأَخَافَنَّهُ خَوْفًا، وَلَأَحْذَرَنَّهُ حَذَرًا، وَلَأَرْجُوَنَّهُ رَجَاءً، وَلَأُحِبَّنَّهُ مَحَبَّةً، وَلَأَشْكُرَنَّهُ شُكْرًا، وَلَأَحْمَدَنَّهُ حَمْدًا، يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ أَشَدَّ مَجْهُودِي، وَغَايَةَ طَاقَتِي، وَلَأَجْتَهِدَنَّ فِي الْعَدْلِ وَالنِّصَفَةِ والزُّهْدِ فِي فَانِي الدُّنْيَا لِزَوَالِهَا، والرَّغْبَةِ فِي بَقَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ لِدَوَامِهَا حَتَّى أَلْقَى اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَلَعَلِّي أَنْجُو مَعَ النَّاجِينَ، وَأَفُوزَ مَعَ الْفَائِزِينَ، وَبَكَى حَتَّى غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: وَتَرَكْتُهُ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَيْهِ وَانْصَرَفْتُ

He said: It has reached me that Khālid b. Ṣafwān entered upon ʿUmar, and ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz said to him: "Admonish me, O Khālid." He said: "Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, was not pleased for anyone to be above you, so He is not pleased for anyone to be more deserving of gratitude than you." He said: ʿUmar wept until he fainted, then he recovered and said: "Go on, O Khālid. He was not pleased for anyone to be above me. By Allah, I will fear Him with true fear, I will be wary of Him with true wariness, I will hope in Him with true hope, I will love Him with true love, I will thank Him with true gratitude, and I will praise Him with true praise. All of that will be the utmost of my effort and the limit of my capacity. And I will strive in justice and fairness, and in renouncing the perishing things of this world because of their passing, and in desiring the lasting things of the Hereafter because of their permanence, until I meet Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Perhaps I will be saved with those who are saved, and succeed with those who succeed." And he wept until he fainted. He said: I left him unconscious and departed.
