وَالِاعْتِمَادُ عَلَى مَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، إِمْلَاءً، وَقِرَاءَةً، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْبَزَّازُ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ الْمَكِّيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَوْدِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْرَجَ إِلَيْنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ كِتَابًا وَقَالَ: هَذَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ: فَإِنَّ الْقَضَاءَ فَرِيضَةٌ مُحْكَمَةٌ، وَسُنَّةٌ مُتَّبَعَةٌ، افْهَمْ إِذَا أُدْلِيَ إِلَيْكَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْفَعُ كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ لَا نَفَاذَ لَهُ، آسِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِي وَجْهِكَ وَمَجْلِسِكَ وَعَدْلِكَ، حَتَّى لَا يَطْمَعَ شَرِيفٌ فِي حَيْفِكَ، وَلَا يَخَافَ ضَعِيفٌ مِنْ جَوْرِكَ ".
Idris al-Awdi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sa'id bin Abi Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) brought out a letter and said: This is the letter of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him): "After praise (of Allah): Judging is a most important office and a practice that is to be followed. Understand when a case is presented to you, and spare no effort in enforcing the truth. Treat people equally before you in your gathering, so that a noble man does not hope for your leniency, and a weak man does not fear your injustice."
