عن هِشَام بن حكيم بن حزامٍ رضي اللّهُ عنْهُما أنَّهُ مرَّ بالشَّامِ على أنَاسٍ مِنَ الأنباطِ، وقدْ أُقِيمُوا في الشَّمْس، وصُبَّ على رُؤُوسِهِم الزَّيْتُ، فَقَال: ما هَذا؟ قًيل: يُعَذَّبُونَ في الخَراجِ، وَفي رِوايةٍ: حُبِسُوا في الجِزيةِ. فَقَال هِشَامٌ: أشْهَدُ لسمِعْتُ رسُول اللّهِ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم يقُولُ: «إنّ اللّه يُعذِّبُ الذِينَ يُعذِّبُونَ النَّاس في الدُّنْيا» فَدَخَل على الأمِيرِ، فحدَّثَهُ، فَأمر بِهم فخُلُّوا. رواه مسلم

Hisham ibn Hakim ibn Hizam (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported that he passed by some Nabatean people in Syria (al-Sham) who had been made to stand in the sun, with oil poured over their heads. He said: "What is this?" It was said: "They are being punished over the land-tax (kharaj)" — and in another narration: "they have been detained over the poll-tax (jizyah)." Hisham said: "I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Indeed, Allah punishes those who punish people in this world.'" So he went in to the governor and told him (of this), and he gave orders concerning them and they were set free. Reported by Muslim.
