Lesson one hundred nine :Do not forget your fault
Imam Sadegh( A. S. )said:
إذا رَأيْتُمُ الْعَبْدَ يَتَفَقَّدُ الذُّنُوبَ مِنَ النّاسِ ناسِيا لِذَنْبِهِ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ قَدْ مُكِرَبِهِ
Translation
When you see someone searching for people's sins and caviling them, but forgetting his own sins, you shall know that he is involved in divine punishment..
Brief description
There are a lot of people who are very insolent, acute, and ingenious in criticizing others while they are completely unaware of their own state, and as per popular proverb, they see a thorn in the foot of others, but do not see a branch in their own eyes!
Surely, curtains of conceit and unawareness have covered the eyes of such people due to being drowned in sin, self- conceit and selfishness, and they are wandering in the deviated paths. One is prosperous who has already refused whatsoever for which he cavils the others.
