Treat others with kindness and mercy even when you are in positions of authority or power over them . Follow Allah's commands faithfully .

In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is warning rulers to not be too harsh in their supervision of people. He is reminding them that they should treat people with kindness and mercy, as it will lead to better results than if they are too strict or oppressive. 'Aidh bin 'Amr then reminds Ibn Ziyad that the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ were not husks, meaning they were noble and respected people who followed Allah's commands and teachings faithfully. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to treat others with kindness and mercy, even when we are in positions of authority or power over them. We should also remember that those who follow Allah's commands faithfully will always be respected by others, no matter what position they hold in society.
