Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1377b
"عن عمر أنه قال: أُوصِى الخليفةَ من بعدِى بالمهاجرينَ الأولين: أن يَعْلَم لَهُم حقَّهم، ويَحْفَظَ لهم حُرْمَتَهم، وأوصيه بالأنصارِ الذين تبوأُوا الدار والإيمان من قبلِهم: أن يقبلَ من مُحْسِنِهم، وأن يَعْفُوَ عن مسيئِهم، وأوصيه بأهلِ الأمصار خيرًا؛ فإنَّهم رِدْءُ الإسلامِ، وجُبَاةُ الأموالِ، وغَيْظُ العَدُوِّ: أن لا يأخذَ مِنهم إِلَّا فَضْلَهم عن رضِاهُم، وأوصيه بالأعرابِ خيرًا، فإنهم العربُ وَمَادَّةُ الإسلامِ: أن يأخُذَ من حواشِى أموالهم فَيَرُدَّ على فُقَرَائِهم، وأوصيه بِذِمَّة اللَّه وذِمَّة رسوله أن يوفى لهم بعهدهم، وأن يُقاتِلَ مِنْ وَرَائهم، ولا يُكَلَّفوا إلَّا طاقتهم".

On the authority of 'Umar, that he said: "I enjoin the next caliph after me regarding the first Muhajirun: that he acknowledge their rights and preserve their sanctity. I enjoin him regarding the Ansar who settled the abode and the faith before them: that he accept the good of their doers and overlook the wrongs of their wrongdoers. I enjoin him regarding the people of the cities with goodness, for they are the bulwark of Islam, the collectors of wealth, and the enragement of the enemy: that he take from them only their surplus with their consent. I enjoin him regarding the Bedouins with goodness, for they are the Arabs and the material of Islam: that he take from the extra of their wealth and return it to their poor. I enjoin him regarding the covenant of Allah and the covenant of His Messenger: that he fulfil their agreement for them, that he fight for them from behind them, and that they not be burdened beyond their capacity."
