"عن عَبْدِ الله بْنِ أَبِى بَكْرِ بن محَمَّدٍ بْنِ عَمْرو بْن حَزْمٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَجْمَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أنْ يَبْعَثَ الْجُيُوشَ إِلى الشَّامِ: كَانَ أَولَ من سَارَ مِنْ عُمَّالِهِ عَمْرو بَنُ العَاصِ، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَسْلُكَ عَلَى أَيْلَةَ عامدًا لفلسطين، وَكانَ جُندُ عَمْرٍو الذِينَ خَرَجوا مِنَ المَدِينَةِ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَاف، فِيهِمْ ناسٌ كَثيرٌ مِنْ الْمُهاجرينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ، وخَرَجَ أَبو بَكْرٍ الصِّديقُ يَمْشِى إِلى جَنْبِ راحِلَة عَمْرِو بنِ العاصِ وَهوَ يُوصِيهِ وَيَقُولُ: يَا عَمْرو: اتَّقِ الله في سِرِّ أَمْرِكَ وَعَلَانِيَتِهِ، واسْتَحْيِهِ، فإِنَّهُ يَراكَ وَيَرَى عَمَلَكَ، وَقَدْ رَأَيتَ تَقْدِيمِى إِيَّاكَ عَلَى مَنْ هُمْ أَقدَمُ سَابِقةً مِنْكَ، وَمنْ كَانَ أَعظَمَ غِنَاءً عَنِ الإِسلامِ وَأَهِلِهِ مِنْكَ، فكُنْ مِنْ عُمَّالِ الآخِرَةِ، وأَرِدْ بِمَا تَعْمَل وَجْهَ الله وكن والدًا لِمَنْ مَعَكَ، وَلا تَكْشِف النَّاسَ عَنْ أَسْتَارِهمْ، واكتفِ بِعَلَانِيَتِهِمْ، وَكُنْ مُجدًا فِي أَمْرِكَ، واصدُقِ اللقاءَ إِذا لاقَيْتَ وَلَا تَجْبُنْ، وتقدَّم فِي الغُلول وَعَاقبْ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا وَعَظْتَ أَصْحَابَكَ فَأَوْجِزْ، وأَصْلِح نَفْسَكَ يَصْلُحْ لَكَ رَعِيَّتُكَ".

"From ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Bakr b. Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. Ḥazm, who said: When Abū Bakr resolved to send the armies to Syria, the first of his governors to set out was ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ, and he ordered him to take the route by Aylah, heading for Palestine. The troops of ʿAmr who left Medina were three thousand, among them many of the Emigrants and the Helpers. Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq went out walking beside the mount of ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ, advising him and saying: O ʿAmr, fear Allah in your private and public affairs, and be shy before Him, for He sees you and sees your deeds. You have seen that I put you forward over those who preceded you in precedence and who rendered greater service to Islam and its people than you. So be among the workers for the Hereafter, and intend by what you do the Face of Allah, and be a father to those with you. Do not expose people's secrets; be content with their outward conduct. Be diligent in your task, be truthful in encounter when you meet the enemy and do not be cowardly. Be foremost in dealing with misappropriation of spoils and punish it. When you admonish your companions, be brief, and set yourself right and your subjects will be set right for you."
