"عن عطاء قال: كان عمرُ بن الخطابِ يأمرُ عمَّاله أن يوافوه بالموسمِ، فإذا اجتمعوا قال: أَيُّهَا الناس إِنِّى لَمْ أَبْعَثْ عُمَّالى لِيُصِيبُوا مِنْ أَبْشَارِكُمْ، وَلَا مِنْ أمْوالِكُمْ، وَلَا مِنْ أَعْرَاضِكُمْ، إِنَّما بَعَثْتُهمْ لِيَحْجِزُوا بَيْنَكُمْ وَلِيَقْسمُوا فَيْئَكُمْ بَيْنَكمْ، فَمَنْ فُعِلَ بِهِ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَقُمْ، فَمَا قَامَ أَحَدٌ إلَّا رَجُلٌ قَامَ فَقَالَ: يا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ عَامِلَكَ فُلانًا ضَرَبَنِى مائَة سَوْطٍ، قَالَ: فيمَ ضَرَبْتَه؟ قم فَاقْتَصَّ مِنْهُ، فَقَامَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّكَ إِنْ فَعَلتَ هَذَا يَكْثُرْ عَلَيْكَ، وَيَكونُ سُنَّةً يَأخُذ بِهَا مَنْ بَعْدَكَ، فَقَالَ: أنا لَا أَقِيدُ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ يَقِيدُ منْ نَفْسِهِ؟ قَالَ: فَدَعْنَا فَلْنُرْضِهِ، وَقَالَ: دُونَكُمْ فَأَرْضُوهُ، فَافْتَدَى مِنْهُ بِمَائَتَى دِينَارٍ، عَنْ كُلِّ سَوْطٍ بدينَارَيْنِ".

"'Ata' said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab used to order his governors to meet him at the season (of Hajj). When they gathered, he said: 'O people, I did not send my governors to take from your skins, nor from your wealth, nor from your honour. I only sent them to restrain between you and to divide your fay' among you. Whoever is treated otherwise than that, let him stand up.' No one stood except a man who stood and said: 'O Commander of the Faithful, your governor so-and-so beat me a hundred lashes.' He said: 'For what did you beat him? Stand up and take retribution from him.' 'Amr ibn al-'As stood and said: 'O Commander of the Faithful, if you do this, it will become frequent against you, and it will become a sunnah that those after you will follow.' He said: 'I will not take retribution, when I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ take retribution from himself?' He said: 'Leave us, let us satisfy him.' He said: 'Go to him and satisfy him.' So he paid a ransom to him of two hundred dinars, two dinars for each lash."
