"عَنْ الأَسْوَدِ قَالَ: كَانَ عُمَرُ إِذَا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ الْوُفُودُ سَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ أَمِيرِهِمْ: أَيَعُودُ الْمَرِيضَ؟ أَيُجيبُ الْعَبْدَ؟ كَيْفَ صَنِيعُهُ؟ مَنْ يَقُومُ عَلَى بَابِهِ؟ فإِنْ قَالُوا لخصلة منها: لا - عزله".

"From al-Aswad, who said: When delegations came to 'Umar, he would ask them about their leader: Does he visit the sick? Does he respond to the slave? How is his conduct? Who stands at his door? If they said that he lacked any one of these, he would dismiss him."
