"عن سلمة بن شهاب العبدى قال: قال عمر بن الخطاب: أيها الرعية، إن لنا عليكم حقا: النصيحة بالغيب، والمعاونة على الخير، وإنه ليس شئ أحب إلى اللَّه وأعم نفعا من حلم إمام ورفقه، وليس شئ أبغض إلى اللَّه من جهل إمام وخُرْقه".

"From Salamah ibn Shihab al-'Abdi, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: 'O subjects, we have a right over you: sincere counsel in secret, and cooperation in good. Nothing is more beloved to Allah and more beneficial in its generality than the forbearance and gentleness of a leader, and nothing is more hateful to Allah than the ignorance and harshness of a leader.'"
