O my son, I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The worst of guardians is the cruel ruler. Beware of being one of them. Ubaidullah said (to him out of arrogance): Sit you down. You are from the chaff of the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ. A'idh said: Was there worthless chaff among them? Such worthless chaff appeared after them and among other people.  

مسلم:١٨٣٠حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ

أَنَّ عَائِذَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ فَقَالَ أَىْ بُنَىَّ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ شَرَّ الرِّعَاءِ الْحُطَمَةُ فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ اجْلِسْ فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنْ نُخَالَةِ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَقَالَ وَهَلْ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ نُخَالَةٌ إِنَّمَا كَانَتِ النُّخَالَةُ بَعْدَهُمْ وَفِي غَيْرِهِمْ

[Machine] Yazid was one of the righteous companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . He approached Abdullah ibn Ziyad and said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The worst kind of shepherds are those who cause the sheep to disperse.' Abdul Rahman added, 'I think he also said, 'Beware of being one of them.' Yazid did not doubt this, so he said to him, 'Sit down, for you are from the elite companions of Muhammad ﷺ .' He asked, 'Were there any elite companions or descendants among them?' He replied, 'After them, there were descendants and others.'"
