Sayyiduna Sa’ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man asked Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): Is it better not to fear the blame of any blamer in the matter of Allah, or to be engaged in self-reformation? So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Whoever is in charge of any affair of the Muslims should not care about the blame of any blamer in the matter of Allah, and whoever is alone should engage in self-reformation and advise his ruler.
