[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?"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا لِلنَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا» فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيَاضٌ يَا هِشَامُ إِنَّا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا الَّذِي سَمِعْتَ وَرَأَيْنَا الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ وَصَحِبْنَا مَنْ صَحِبْتَ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ يَا هِشَامُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ نَصِيحَةٌ لِذِي سُلْطَانٍ فَلَا يُكَلِّمْهُ بِهَا عَلَانِيَةً وَلْيَأْخُذْ بِيَدِهِ فَلْيَخْلُ بِهِ فَإِنْ قَبِلَهَا قَبِلَهَا وَإِلَّا كَانَ قَدْ أَدَّى الَّذِي لَهُ وَالَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَإنَّكَ يَا هِشَامُ لَأَنْتَ الْحَرِيُّ إِذْ تَجْتَرِئُ عَلَى سُلْطَانِ اللهِ فَهَلَّا خَشِيتَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ سُلْطَانُ اللهِ فَتَكُونَ قَتِيلَ سُلْطَانِ اللهِ»
