"عن طاووس أنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ: أرَأيْتُمْ إِن استعملتُ عليكم خير مَنْ أَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ أَمَرْتُهُ بِالعَدْلِ أقَضَيْتُ مَا عَلَىَّ؟ قالوا: نعم قال: لا، حَتَّى أَنظُرَ في عَملهِ أعَمِلَ بها أمَرْتُهُ أَمْ لا؟ ".

"On the authority of Tawus that 'Umar said: What do you think, if I appoint over you the best one I know and order him to be just, have I fulfilled what is incumbent on me? They said: Yes. He said: No, until I look at his work, whether he has done what I ordered him or not."
