"عن ابن خزيمة بن ثابت قال: كان عمر إذا استعملَ رجلًا أشهد عليه رهطًا من الأنصار وغيرهم، يقول: إِنِّى لَمْ أَسْتَعْمِلْكَ عَلَى دِمَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَلا أَعْرَاضِهِمْ، وَلَكنِّى أَسْتَعْملُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِتَقْسِمَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْعَدْلِ، وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلاةَ، وَيَشْتَرِطُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَن لَا يَأكُلَ نَقِيًا وَلَا يَلْبَسَ رَقِيقًا، وَلَا يَرْكَبَ بِرْذَوْنًا، وَلَا يُغْلِقَ بَابَهُ دُونَ حَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ".

Ibn Khuzaymah ibn Thabit narrated: 'Umar, whenever he appointed a man, would call a group of the Ansar and others to witness against him, saying: 'I have not appointed you over the blood of the Muslims or their honor, but I appoint you over them so that you may distribute among them with justice and establish the prayer.' He would stipulate on them that he should not eat fine flour, nor wear thin cloth, nor ride a Berber horse, nor close his door to the needs of the people.'
