It is said: When Al-Rashid became angry with Thumama bin Ashras, he handed him over to a servant called Yasir, and the servant used to check on him and treat him well until one day Yasir heard Thumama recite: "Woe that Day to those who deny" (Al-Mukadhdhabin), with the letter Dhal open. Thumama said: Woe to you! Al-Mukadhdhabin means the Prophets. Recite Al-Mukadhdhibin with the Dhal broken, for they are the deniers. The servant replied: I was told you were a heretic and I didn't believe it. Are you insulting the Prophets? Then he shunned him and abandoned him, no longer checking on him. When Al-Rashid was pleased with him again and returned him to his assembly, he asked him one day: What is the hardest thing? He said: A scholar who is subject to the judgment of an ignorant person! Al-Rashid thought it was a hint at him until he told him the story of the servant.
