A man read in front of Yahya Bin Muadh the following ayat:

فَقُولَا لَهُۥ قَوْلًۭا لَّيِّنًۭا لَّعَلَّهُۥ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ

And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear (Allâh).

So Yahya cried and said

Oh my Rabb this is your kindness to the one who says I am the Lord

So how will your kindness be to the one who says you are my Lord.
