"عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لما وُلِّى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: لَقَدْ كَانَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَحيَد هَذَا الأَمْر عَنْكَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكَ فَظٌّ قَالَ (لَهُ عُمَرُ): الْحَمْدُ للَّه الَّذِى مَلأَ قَلْبِى لَهُمْ رُحْمًا ومَلأَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِى رُعْبًا".
