Kazi ya msaidizi ni kumripoti Khalifah kuhusu yale aliyotekeleza katika shughuli za usimamizi, na yale aliyotekeleza katika utawala na ulezi, ili mamlaka yake yasiwe sawa na ya Khalifah. Kwa hiyo, kazi yake ni kuwasilisha ripoti zake na kutekeleza yote anayoamriwa.

The work of the assistant is to report to the Khalifah after whatever he has executed of the actions of management, and whatever he implemented of government and guardianship, in order that his powers do not become like that of the Khalifah. Therefore, his work is to raise his reports and to implement whatever he is ordered to.

Ushahidi wa hili pia ni hali halisi ya msaidizi, kwa kuwa yeye ni mwakilishi aliyeidhinishwa rasmi wa Khalifah, na mwakilishi hufanya kazi tu kama mwakilishi wa yule aliyemtuma. Kwa hiyo, yeye hajitegemei kwa Khalifah, bali huripoti kila kitendo chake, kabisa kama vile Umar (ra) alivyokuwa akifanya kwa Abu Bakr (ra) alipokuwa waziri wake. Hivyo alikuwa akimjulisha Abu Bakr (ra) kuhusu maoni yake, na kutekeleza kulingana na alichokiona.

The evidence for this is also the reality of the assistant, since he is the authorised representative of the Khalifah, and the representative only carries out the work as a representative of the one who authorised him. Therefore, he is not independent from the Khalifah, rather he reports every action, totally as Umar (ra) used to do with Abu Bakr (ra) when he was his minister. So he used to inform Abu Bakr (ra) about his opinion and would implement according to what he thought.
