"عَنْ أَبِى جَرِيرٍ الأَزْدِىِّ أن رجُلًا كَانَ يُهْدِى إلَى عُمَرَ بنِ الْخَطَّابِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ فَخِذَ جَزُورٍ، فَخَاصَم إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمؤْمنِينَ: اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا قَضَاءً فَصْلًا كَمَا يُفْصَلُ الْفَخِذُ مِنَ الْجَزُورِ، فَكتَبَ عُمَرُ إلَى عُمَّالِهِ أَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُوا الهَدِيَّةَ فَإِنَّها رُشْوَةٌ".

"Abu Jarir al-Azdi narrated that a man used to give 'Umar ibn al-Khattab a leg of a camel every year. He brought a dispute before 'Umar and said: 'O Commander of the Believers, judge between us with a decisive judgment, just as the leg is separated from the camel.' So 'Umar wrote to his governors that they should not accept gifts, for they are bribery."
