"عَنْ عَدِىِّ بْنِ سَهْلٍ قَالَ: كَتَبَ عُمَرُ فِى الأَمْصَارِ: إنِّى لَمْ أَعْزِلْ خَالِدًا عَنْ سَخْطَة وَلَا خِيَانَة، وَلَكِنَّ النَّاسَ فُتِنُوا بِهِ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يُوكلُوا إِلَيْهِ وَيُبْتَلُوا (فَأَحْبَبْتُ) أَنْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّه هُوَ الصَّانِعُ وَأَنْ لَا يَكُونُوا بِعَرْضِ فِتْنَةٍ".

"On the authority of 'Adi ibn Sahl who said: 'Umar wrote to the provinces: I did not dismiss Khalid out of anger or betrayal, but the people were tested by him, so I feared they would rely upon him and be tried, so I wished that they would know that Allah is the Maker, and that they would not be exposed to trial."
