حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ
أَنَّ عَائِذَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو – وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ – دَخَلَ عَلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ فَقَالَ: أَىْ بُنَىَّ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ شَرَّ الرِّعَاءِ الْحُطَمَةُ، فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ»، فَقَالَ لَهُ: اجْلِسْ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنْ نُخَالَةِ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: وَهَلْ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ نُخَالَةٌ إِنَّمَا كَانَتِ النُّخَالَةُ بَعْدَهُمْ وَفِي غَيْرِهِمْ.

that ʿĀʾidh b. ʿAmr —who was among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ— came to ʿUbaydullāh b. Ziyād and said: O my son, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Indeed, the worst of shepherds are the harsh (tyrannical) ones; so beware of being among them.” He said to him: “Sit down; you are only from the refuse of Muhammad’s Companions ﷺ. He replied: Did they even have any refuse? Refuse came only after them and among others besides them.
