O my son, I have heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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 ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). A'idh said: Was there worthless chaff among them? Such worthless chaff appeared after them and among other people.
