التاسع: عن أبي سعيد الحسن البصري أن عائذ بن عمرو رضي الله عنه

دخل على عبيد الله بن زياد فقال: أي بني، إني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «إن شر الرعاء الحطمة» فإياك أن تكون منهم. فقال له: اجلس فإنما أنت من نخالة أصحاب محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: وهل كانت لهم نخالة، إنما كانت النخالة بعدهم وفي غيرهم!»

‘Aidh ibn Amr (the Companion) (radiyallahu anhu) visited Ubaidullah ibn Ziyad (the ruler) and said to him: ‘Son, I heard Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying, ‘The worst shepherds (rulers) are those who deal harshly in respect of supervision. Beware, Don’t be one of them!’’

Ibn Ziyad said to him, ‘Sit down, you are but husk from among the Companions of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).’ ‘Aidh ibn Amr (radiyallahu anhu) retorted: ‘Was there any husk among them? Surely, husk came after them and among others than them’.’’
