Is there evidence in the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to the preacher, "You are a bad preacher," that one should publicly rebuke whoever makes a mistake publicly?

Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the preacher who said:
And whoever disobeys them has gone astray. He saidومن يعصهما فقد غوى قال
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 6:39
"You are a bad preacher." He asks: Is it taken from this hadith that whoever makes a mistake publicly should be warned against publicly?

Answer:
It is clarified to him; it is clarified to him if it was due to sleep and not intentional, it is clarified to him. But the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to teach the people. If the preacher makes a mistake, it is clarified to him between him and the advisor, and it should not be done publicly in front of the people, because it may lead to some misunderstanding. Yes.
