[Machine] That 'Iyad bin Ghanm Al-Ash'ari met a man when he entered a house. Hisham bin Hakim came to him and spoke harshly to him. Hisham stayed with him for a few nights, then came and apologized to him, saying, "O 'Iyad, did you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The severest of people in punishment on the Day of Resurrection will be those severest in punishment to the people in this worldly life'?" 'Iyad replied, "O Hisham, we have heard what you have heard, seen what you have seen, and accompanied those you have accompanied. Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever possesses advice for a ruler, let him not speak of it in public or address it directly to him. Rather, let him take hold of his hand (emphasizing humility) and convey the advice to him. If he accepts it, then it is good. Otherwise, he has fulfilled his duty towards Allah and towards him.' Also, Hisham, are you not bold enough to dare speak to the ruler of Allah (referring to Hisham's boldness towards 'Iyad)? Why then do you not fear that the ruler of Allah may kill you, making you the killer of the ruler of Allah?" Their conversation ended on equal terms.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the people who will experience the severest punishment on the Day of Judgment are the ones who inflict the most severe punishment on others in this dunya (worldly life)." A companion named Ayyad said to him, "O Hisham! We have heard what you have heard and we have seen what you have seen, and we have accompanied those who you have accompanied. Didn't you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever has advice for a ruler, let him not give it to him publicly, but let him take him aside and offer it. If he accepts it, then well and good, otherwise, he would have fulfilled his duty towards Allah and His ruler. And O Hisham! You are a free man, so why do you dare to confront the ruler? Aren't you afraid that the ruler will kill you and you will become a victim of the ruler of Allah?"
