'Amr ibn al 'As (radiAllahu anhu) said,
"...I am amazed at one
who spots an impurity in the eye of another
but is unable to detect it in his/her own eye,
or who attempts to remove
a grudge from another's heart
while making no attempt to remove
grudges from his/her own heart.
I have never blamed anyone
for the confidences of mine
that they have betrayed.
How could I,
when already they have given me
reason for pause?"
