Adab al-Mufrad

Benefits and Issues:
The chain of narration of this athar is weak; however, as a matter of fact, it is true that when a person searches for the faults of others, he overlooks his own faults and forgets them. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
((One of you sees the speck in his brother’s eye but forgets the log or the large piece of wood in his own eye.)) (Ibn Hibban, Hadith: 1848; al-Silsilah al-Sahihah by al-Albani, Hadith: 33)
“You notice even the splinter in another’s eye, but do not see the beam in your own eye.”
