السيوطي:٢-٥٩٩b

"عَنْ مسروقٍ قال: قُلْتُ لعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ: أَرَأَيْتَ الرِّشْوَةَ فِى الْحُكْمِ أَمِنَ السُّحْتِ هِىَ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ كُفْرٌ، إِنَّمَا السُّحْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِلرَّجُلِ عِندَ السُّلْطَانِ جاهٌ ومنزلةٌ، ويكونَ للآخَرِ إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ حاجةٌ فَلاَ تُقْضَى حَاجَتُهُ حَتَّى يَهْدِىَ إِلَيْهِ هَدِيَّةً".  

ابن المنذر
