Gavana hana wajibu wa kumjulisha Khalifah kuhusu kile alichotekeleza ndani ya mamlaka aliyopewa. Ikiwa tatizo jipya litajitokeza ambalo halina mfano uliotangulia, lazima kwanza amjulishe Khalifah kuhusu tatizo hilo, kisha aendelee kulingana na maagizo ya Khalifah. Ikiwa aliogopa kwamba tatizo lingezidi kuwa baya iwapo angechelewesha, anatekeleza hatua hiyo kisha ni lazima baadaye amjulishe Khalifah sababu ya kutomjulisha kabla.

The governor is not obliged to inform the Khalifah of what he has carried out within his authorised command. If a new problem arises which has no precedent, he has to inform the Khalifah about it first, and he then proceeds according to the instructions of the Khalifah. If he was afraid that the problem would be exacerbated if delayed, he carries out the action and then must inform the Khalifah later on about the reason for not informing him beforehand.

Ushahidi upo wazi kwamba Mtume (saw) aliwapa mamlaka magavana wake, na hakuwaagiza wamjulishe matendo yao yoyote, wala wao hawakuwa wakimripoti chochote. Badala yake, walikuwa wakitekeleza majukumu yao kwa uhuru kamili, kila mmoja akitawala katika uongozi wake kwa kutumia ijtihadi yake; hivyo ndivyo ilivyokuwa kwa Mu’adh, na ’Attab bin Asid, na Al-’Ala’ bin Al-Hadrami, na kwa magavana wote wa Mtume wa Allah ﷺ. Hili linaonyesha kwamba gavana hamjulishi Khalifah juu ya chochote katika matendo yake. Na katika jambo hili, yeye anatofautiana na msaidizi, kwani msaidizi lazima amjulishe Khalifah kuhusu kila kitendo anachokifanya, ilhali si wajibu kwa gavana kumjulisha Khalifah kuhusu lolote katika matendo yake.
