أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مُوسَى التَّغْلِبِيَّ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْقَاضِي
يَقُولُ: كَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ إِلَى عَامِلٍ لَهُ: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِذَا دَعَتْكَ قُدْرَتُكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَاذْكُرْ قُدْرَةَ اللهِ عَلَيْكَ وَيُقَادُ مَا تَأْتِي وَمَا يَأْتُونَ إِلَيْكَ " قَالَ أَحْمَدُ: " وَفِي هَذَا الْمَعْنَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ فِي ضَرْبِهِ عَبْدَهُ، وَذَلِكَ مَذْكُورٌ فِي بَابِ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَى الْمَمَالِيكِ "
