"عن عبد اللَّه بن حكيم قال: قال عمر بن الخطاب: إنه لا حلم أحب إلى اللَّه من حلم إمام ورفقه، ولا جهل أبغض إلى اللَّه من جهل إمام وخُرقه، ومن يعمل بالعفو فيما بين ظهرانيه تَأتِه العافية، ومن ينصف الناس من نفسه؛ يُعْطَ الظفر في أمره، والذل في الطاعة أقرب إلى البر من التعذُّر بالمعصية".

"From 'Abdullah ibn Hakim, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: 'There is no forbearance more beloved to Allah than the forbearance and gentleness of a leader, and no ignorance more hateful to Allah than the ignorance and harshness of a leader. Whoever acts with pardon among those under his care, well-being will come to him. Whoever gives people their due from himself will be given victory in his affair. Humility in obedience is closer to righteousness than making excuses for disobedience.'"
