(VU-Study-Corner) Being Blind To Your Own Errors

Aboo Ja'far Muhammad Ibn 'Alee said:

"It is a sufficient portion of defect for a person to clearly see from the people [of mistakes and shortcomings] that which he is blind of from his own self."
[Al-Hilyah, 3/188]

'Abdullaah Ibn Muhammad Ibn Manaazil said:

"The believer seeks excuses for his brothers, and the hypocrite seeks the mistakes for his brothers."

[Ash-Shu'ab, 7/11197]

Bakr Ibn 'Abdillaah Al-Muzanee said:

"Treat your brothers well despite the shortcomings that they have, just as you like for them to treat you [well] despite the shortcomings that you have. Everyone that you see making a mistake or mishap should not fall from your sight, for surely you are most deserving of this yourself."

[At-Taubeekh of Abu Ash-Shaykh, p.54]

As some of the salaf (the Muslims from the first three generations) used to say:

"One of you knows all his own faults and mistakes and he still likes himself, prefers himself (over others) yet he dislikes his Muslim brother on account of suspicion. So where then is the 'Aql, (intellect, sanity)?"
