Hadith 33:1211
Khalaf ibn Khalifah narrated to us, from Asbagh al-Warraq, from Abu Nadrah, that Umar sent Haram ibn Hayyan to [oversee] the horses. He became angry at a man and ordered that his neck be struck. Then he turned to his companions and said, "May Allah not reward you with good; you did not advise me when I spoke, nor did you restrain me from my anger. By Allah, I will never again hold a position of authority for you." Then he wrote to Umar, "O Commander of the Faithful, I have no capacity for the subjects, so send for your position."
حدثنا خلف بن خليفة عن أصبغ الوراق عن أبي نضرة أن عمر بعث هرم بن حيان على الخيل فغضب على رجل فأمر به فوجئت عنقه ثم اقبل على أصحابه فقال لا جزاكم الله خيرا ما نصحتموني حين قلت ولا كففتموني عن غضبي والله لا ألي لكم عملا ثم كتب إلى عمر يا أمير المؤمنين لا طاقة لي بالرعية فابعث إلى عملك
