English translation

3045. It was narrated from 'Urwah bin Az-Zubair, that Hishām bin Hakīm bin Hizām found a man who was governor of Himṣ making some Coptic people stand in the sun for not paying the Jizyah. He said: "What is this? I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, will punish those who punish the people in this world.'" (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3045 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ هِشَامَ بْنَ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، وَجَدَ رَجُلًا وَهُوَ عَلَى حِمْصَ يُشَمِّسُ نَاسًا مِنَ الْقِبْطِ فِي أَدَاءِ الْجِزْيَةِ، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبُ الَّذِينَ يُعَذِّبُونَ النَّاسَ فِي الدُّنْيَا»

Commentary

To punish any creature, without justification is an act of great injustice and sin. If the person concerned is unable to pay the tax, he must be given appropriate time for the purpose.
