عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَ تَنَاوَلَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ رَجُلًا بِشَيْءٍ فَنَهَاهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا أَغْضَبْتَ الْأَمِيرَ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْ أَنْ أُغْضِبَكَ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ((إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا لِلنَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا))
Khalid bin Hakim bin Hizam says: Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) punished a man for some reason, but Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) stopped him. People said: You have angered the leader. So he went to him and said: It was not my intention to anger you, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that on the Day of Resurrection, the most severe punishment will be given to the one who subjected people to the harshest punishment in the world.
