وعن هشام بن حكيم بن حزام رضي الله عنه
أنه مر بالشام على أناس من الأنباط، وقد أقيموا في الشمس، وصُب على رءوسهم الزيت فقال: ما هذا؟ يُعذبون في الخراج وفي رواية: حُبسوا في الجزية. فقال هشام: أشهد لسمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «إن الله يعذب الذين يعذبون الناس في الدنيا«فدخل على الأمير، فحدثه، فأمر بهم فخلوا»
“What is the matter?” He was told that they had been detained for the non-payment of Jizyah. (Another narration says that they were being tortured for not having paid Al-Kharaj). Thereupon Hisham said: “I bear testimony to the fact that I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying, ‘Allah will torment those who torment people in the world.’” Then he proceeded towards their Amir and reported this Hadith to him. The Amir then issued orders for their release.
