WORLDLY JUDGMENT H 396 "Omar, the son of Khattab said: 'In the time of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, people were called to account through the Revelation. Now that the Revelations have ceased, you will be taken to account for your visible actions. From now on whosoever demonstrates something good we shall take it as such and consider him to be honest. We shall not inquire into his secret motives; Allah will take him to account for that. However, whosoever demonstrates evil we will neither uphold it nor accept it, even if he protests that his intentions were good.'" R 396 Bukhari with a chain up to Abdullah, the son of Utbah son of Mas'ud who related that he heard Caliph Omar son of Khattab say this.
395- وعن عبد الله بن عتبة بن مسعود ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه ، يقولُ : إنَّ نَاساً كَانُوا يُؤْخَذُونَ بِالوَحْيِ في عَهْدِ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، وَإنَّ الوَحْيَ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ ، وإِنَّمَا نَأخُذُكُمُ الآن بما ظَهَرَ لَنَا مِنْ أعمَالِكُمْ ، فَمَنْ أظْهَرَ لَنَا خَيْراً أمَّنَّاهُ وَقَرَّبْنَاهُ ، وَلَيْسَ لَنَا مِنْ سَرِيرَتِهِ شَيْء ، اللهُ يُحَاسِبُهُ فِي سَرِيرَتِهِ ، وَمَنْ أظْهَرَ لَنَا سُوءاً لَمْ نَأمَنْهُ وَلَمْ نُصَدِّقْهُ وَإنْ قَالَ : إنَّ سَرِيرَتَهُ حَسَنَةٌ . رواه البخاري .
