Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2911b

"عن عطيةَ بن قيس أن عمرَ بن الخطاب استعملَ سعيد بن عامرِ بن حذيم على جند حمص، فقدِم عليه فعلاه بالدِّرة، فقال سعيد: سبق سَيلُكَ مطرك، إن تَستعتب نعتب، وإن تعاقبْ نصبر، وإن تَعْفُ نشكرْ، فاستحيى عمر، وألقى بالدرة، وقال ما على المسلم أكثر من هذا، إنك تبطئ بالخراجِ، فقال سعيد: إنك أمرتنا أن لا نزيد الفلاح على أربعة دنانير، فنحن لا نزيد ولا نَنْقص، إلا أنا نؤخرهم إلى غَلَّاتِهم، فقال عمر: لا أعزلك ما كنت حيًا".

"It is narrated from 'Atiyyah ibn Qays that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab appointed Sa'id ibn 'Amir ibn Hudhaym over the army of Homs. When he came to him, he struck him with the whip. Sa'id said, 'Your whip has outrun your rain. If you seek to make us repent, we will repent; if you punish, we will be patient; if you pardon, we will be thankful.' 'Umar was ashamed, cast down the whip and said, 'A Muslim is not owed more than this. You are slow with the kharaj.' Sa'id said, 'You ordered us not to charge the cultivators more than four dinars, so we do not increase or decrease it, except that we delay them until their harvests.' 'Umar said, 'I will not dismiss you as long as I am alive.'"
