Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1374b
"عن عبد اللَّه بن عتبة بن مسعود قال: سمعت عمر بن الخطاب يقول: إن ناسًا كانوا يؤخذون بالوحى في عهد رسول اللَّه ﷺ وإن الوحى قد انقطع، وإنما نأخذكم الآنَ بما ظهرَ من أعمالكم، فمن أَظْهَرَ لنَا خْيرًا أَمَّنَّاهُ وقرَّبناه وليس منا من سريرته شئ، اللَّه يحاسِبُه في سريرته، وَمَنْ أَظْهَر لنا شَرًا لَم نْأمَنْهُ ولم نُصَدِّقْهُ وإن قال: إِنَّ سريرتى حسنة".

On the authority of 'Abdullah ibn 'Utbah ibn Mas'ud, who said: I heard 'Umar ibn al-Khattab say: "Some people used to be held accountable by revelation during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but revelation has now ended. We will hold you accountable now only by what has become apparent of your actions. Whoever shows us good, we will feel secure with him and draw him near, and nothing of his inner self is our concern; Allah will call him to account for his inner self. Whoever shows us evil, we will not feel secure with him or believe him, even if he says, 'My inner self is good.'"
