Khalifah wajib memeriksa tindakan para gabenor dan sentiasa menilai prestasi mereka dengan tegas. Beliau hendaklah melantik wakil-wakil untuk memantau keadaan mereka, menyiasat mereka, serta mengumpulkan semua atau sebahagian daripada mereka secara berkala, dan mendengar aduan rakyat terhadap mereka.

The Khalifah must examine the actions of the governors and continually assess their performance strictly. He must deputise people to monitor their situations, investigate them, and periodically gather all or some of them, and listen to the complaints of the subjects regarding them.

Telah disahkan bahawa Nabi ﷺ biasa menguji para gabenor apabila baginda melantik mereka, sebagaimana baginda lakukan terhadap Mu'adh dan Abu Musa, dan menerangkan kepada mereka bagaimana mereka hendaklah meneruskan tugas, sebagaimana baginda lakukan terhadap Amr b. Hazm dalam suratnya yang masyhur di kalangan ahli ilmu, sebagaimana disebut oleh Ibn 'Asakir dalam Tarikh Damascus dan Al-Hafiz dalam Al-Isaba.

It is confirmed that the Prophet (phuh) used to test the governors when he appointed them as he did with Mu’adh and Abu Musa, and explained to them how they should proceed as he did with Amr b. Hazm in his message famous amongst the people of knowledge as mentioned by Ibn ’Asakir in Tarikh Damascus and Al-Hafiz said in Al-Isaba.
