السيوطي:٢-١٩٣١b

"عن إبراهيمَ قال: كَانَ عُمَرُ إِذَا اسْتَعْمَلَ عَامِلًا فَقَدِمَ إِلَيْه الْوَفْدُ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْبِلَادِ، قَالَ: كَيْفَ أَمِيرُكُم؟ أيَعُودُ الْمَمْلُوكَ؟ أَيَتْبَعُ الجِنَازَة؟ كَيْفَ بَابُهُ؟ أَلَيِّنٌ هو؟ فَإِنْ قَالُوا: بَابُهُ لَيِّنٌ، ويَعُودُ الْمَمْلُوكَ، وَيَتْبعُ الْجِنَازَةَ؛ تَرَكَهُ، وَإِلَّا بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَنَزَعَهُ".
