"عَن الزُّهُرى أن رجلا قال لعمرَ بنِ الخطابِ: أَلَا أكونُ بمنزلةِ من لا يخاف في اللَّه لومة لائم؟ فقال: أما إن تلى في الناس شيئا فلا تخف في اللَّه لومة لائم وأمَّا أنتَ خلوٌ من أمرهم فأكِبَّ على نفسِك، وأمرْ بالمعروفِ وانْه عن المنكر".

“On the authority of al-Zuhri that a man said to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: ‘Shall I not be like one who does not fear the blame of any blamer in [the cause of] Allah?’ He said: ‘As for when you hold some authority over the people, do not fear the blame of any blamer in [the cause of] Allah. But as for when you are free of their affairs, then attend to yourself, and enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil.’”
