"عَنِ الْمِسْوَر بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِنِّى لَا أخَافُ النَّاسَ عَلَيْكُم، إِنَّمَا أَخَافُكُم عَلَى النَّاسِ، إنِّى تَركْتُ فِيكُم اثْنَتَيْنِ لَنْ تَبْرَحُوا بِخَيْرٍ مَا لَزِمْتُمُوهُمَا: الْعَدْلَ فِى الْحُكْمِ، والْعَدْلَ فِى الْقَسْمِ، وَإِنِّى قَدْ تَرَكْتُكُم عَلَى مِثْلِ مخرفةِ النَّعم إلا أن يَتَعَوَّج قومٌ فَيُعَوَّجَ بهم".

"Al-Miswar ibn Makhramah said: I heard 'Umar say: 'O assembly of Muslims, I do not fear people for you; rather I fear you for people. I have left among you two things, and you will not cease to be upon good as long as you adhere to them: justice in judgment and justice in distribution. I have left you upon the like of the clear path of camels, unless a people deviate and then they are made to deviate with them.'"
