"It was narrated from 'Abd al-Malik ibn Abi Hurrah al-Asadi, from his father, who was among the most knowledgeable people about al-Sawad, that he said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman as judge, and wrote to Hudhayfah with ten characteristics. I memorized six and forgot four: that no land is to be granted as an iqta' except what belongs to Kisra or his household, or to one who was killed in battle, or the houses of the barids (postal stations), or the site of prisons, and the outlet of water and thickets."
