'Urwa reported on the authority of his father that Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam happened to pass by some people in Syria who had been made to stand in the sun and olive-oil was being poured upon their heads. He said: What is this? It was said: They are being punished for (not paying) the Kharaj (the government revenue). Thereupon he said: Allah would punish those who torment people in this world (without any genuine reason).

Hisham reported on the authority of his father that Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam happened to pass by people, the farmers of Syria, who had been made to stand in the sun. He said: What is the matter with them? They said: They have been detained for Jizya. Thereupon Hisham said: I bear testimony to the fact that I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Allah would torment those who torment people in the world.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Hisham with the same chain of transmitters and he made this addition of Jarir that (Hisham bin Hakim) went to Umair bin Sa'd who was then ruler in Palestine and he narrated to him this hadith and he (submitting before the words of the Prophet) commanded that they should be let off and so they were let off.

'Urwa bin Zubair reported that Hisham bin Hakim found a person (the ruler of Homs) who had been detaining some Nabateans in connection with the dues of Jizya. He said: What is this? I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Allah would torment those persons who torment people in the world.
