اُردوEn
عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ كَتَبَ عُمَرُ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ أَنْ لَا يُقَرَّ لِي عَامِلٌ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَنَةٍ وَأَقِرُّوا الْأَشْعَرِيَّ يَعْنِي أَبَا مُوسَى أَرْبَعَ سِنِينَ
It is narrated from Sha'bi, he says: In his will, Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) had written that none of my appointed officials should remain in their responsibility for more than one year; however, you should keep Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) in his responsibility for four years.
