Bayhaqi 17906 — The ruler's responsibilities toward the army

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، قَالَ: اسْتَعْمَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَجَاءَ يَأْخُذُ عَهْدَهُ، قَالَ: فَأَتَى عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِبَعْضِ وَلَدِهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ، قَالَ: أَتُقَبِّلُ هَذَا؟ مَا قَبَّلْتُ وَلَدًا قَطُّ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " فَأَنْتَ بِالنَّاسِ أَقَلُّ رَحْمَةً، هَاتِ عَهْدَنَا، لَا تَعْمَلْ لِي عَمَلًا أَبَدًا ".
Abu Uthman al-Nahdi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) assigned a man from Banu Asad to a post. He came to collect his letter of appointment, and at that time one of the children of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought to him and he kissed him. The man said: "Do you kiss him? I have never kissed any child." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then you have little mercy towards people. Give back our letter of appointment, and never work for us again."
