"عَنْ مكحولٍ أَنَّ سَعِيد بْنَ عَامِرِ بن حِذْيم الجُمَحِى مِنْ أَصْحابِ النّبى ﷺ قال لعمر بن الخطاب: إِنِّى أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُوصِيكَ يَا عُمَرُ، قَال: أَجَلْ فَأَوْصِنِى، قَالَ: أُوصِيكَ أَنْ تَخْشَى اللَّه في النَّاسِ، وَلَا تَخْشَى النَّاسَ في اللَّه وَلَا يَخْتَلِفْ قَوْلُكَ وَفِعْلُكَ، فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ القَوْلِ مَا صَدَّقَهُ الفِعْلُ، وَلَا تَقْضِ (فِى أَمْرٍ وَاحِدٍ بقَضَاءَيْن فَيخْتَلِفَ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرُكَ وتزيغَ عَنِ الْحَقِّ، وَخُذْ بالأَمْرِ ذِى) () الحُجَّةِ تَأخُذْ بِالْفَلْج ( ) ويُعينُكَ اللَّه وَيُصْلِحُ رَعِيَّتَكَ عَلَى يدَيْكَ، وَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ وَقَضَاءَكَ لِمَنْ وَلَّاكَ اللَّه أَمْرَهُ، مِنْ بَعِيدِ المُسْلِمِين وَقَرِيبهِمْ، وَأَحِبَّ لَهُمْ مَا تُحِبُّ لنَفْسِكَ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ، وَاكْرَهْ لَهُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُ لِنَفْسِكِ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ، وَخُضِ الْغَمرَاتِ إِلَى الحَقِّ، وَلَا تَخَفْ فِى اللَّه لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَر: مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَال سَعِيدٌ: مِثْلُكَ مَنْ ولّاهُ اللَّه أَمْرَ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَحُلْ بَيْنَهُ وبَيْنَ اللَّه أحَدٌ".

"Makhul narrated that Sa'id ibn 'Amir ibn Hidhyam al-Jumahi, one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, said to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: 'I want to give you some advice, O 'Umar.' He said: 'Yes, advise me.' He said: 'I advise you to fear Allah regarding the people, and not to fear the people regarding Allah. Let your words and your deeds not differ, for the best speech is what deeds confirm. Do not judge one matter with two judgments, lest your affair become confused for you and you deviate from the truth. Take the matter that has the stronger proof, and you will be taking the victorious course. Allah will help you and will set right your subjects through you. Turn your face and your judgment toward those whom Allah has placed in charge of their affairs, from the distant and near among the Muslims. Love for them what you love for yourself and your family, and dislike for them what you dislike for yourself and your family. Plunge into difficulties for the sake of the truth, and do not fear the blame of any blamer for Allah's sake.' 'Umar said: 'Who can do that?' Sa'id said: 'Someone like you, whom Allah has placed in charge of the affairs of the Ummah of Muhammad, and no one has come between him and Allah.'"
