Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ حَدَّثَنِي شُرَيْحُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ قَالَ جَلَدَ عِيَاضُ بْنُ غَنْمٍ صَاحِبَ دَارِيَا حِينَ فُتِحَتْ فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الْقَوْلَ حَتَّى غَضِبَ عِيَاضٌ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ لَيَالِيَ فَأَتَاهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ حَكِي
مٍ فَاعْتَذَرَ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هِشَامٌ لِعِيَاضٍ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا أَشَدَّهُمْ عَذَابًا فِي الدُّنْيَا لِلنَّاسِ فَقَالَ عِيَاضُ بْنُ غَنْمٍ يَا هِشَامُ بْنَ حَكِيمٍ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا مَا سَمِعْتَ وَرَأَيْنَا مَا رَأَيْتَ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْصَحَ لِسُلْطَانٍ بِأَمْرٍ فَلَا يُبْدِ لَهُ عَلَانِيَةً وَلَكِنْ لِيَأْخُذْ بِيَدِهِ فَيَخْلُوَ بِهِ فَإِنْ قَبِلَ مِنْهُ فَذَاكَ وَإِلَّا كَانَ قَدْ أَدَّى الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ لَهُ وَإِنَّكَ يَا هِشَامُ لَأَنْتَ الْجَرِيءُ إِذْ تَجْتَرِئُ عَلَى سُلْطَانِ اللَّهِ فَهَلَّا خَشِيتَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ السُّلْطَانُ فَتَكُونَ قَتِيلَ سُلْطَانِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى

English Translation
Abu al-Mughirah narrated to us, Safwan narrated to us, Shurayh ibn 'Ubayd al-Hadrami and others narrated to me, they said: 'Iyad ibn Ghanm flogged the custodian of Dariyya when it was conquered. Hisham ibn Hakim (رضي الله عنه) spoke harshly to him until 'Iyad became angry. Then he waited for some nights and came to him saying: "Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Indeed, the most severely punished of people are those who most severely punish people in this world'?" 'Iyad said: O Hisham, we heard what you heard and saw what you saw. Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Whoever wishes to advise a ruler about something, let him not do so publicly. Rather, let him take him by the hand and be alone with him. If he accepts, then so be it; and if not, he has fulfilled his duty."'
