The Cup You Give To Others You Shall Drink

‘Nahmaduhu Wa Nusalli Ala Rasoolilah Kareem~
Amma ‘Baad…

Fa’ Aouzobillahi Minash Shaitaannir Rajeem’….
‘Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim’.
‘Assalam Alaikum Wa Rehmath Ullahi Wa Barkatahu’.

Abu Hatim (Allah be pleased with him) said:
‘The Intelligent one must adhere to salvation by staying away from probing
into the faults of people,
and instead should preoccupy himself
with his own faults.

Surely, whoever preoccupies himself with his own faults instead of the faults of others,
will find peace and relaxation in his being and his heart will not be exhausted {!}

Whenever he looks to his faults and errors,
then the similar faults of his brother
will be easy for him to bear {!}
However, whoever preoccupies himself with the faults of others instead of his own…
then his Heart (‘Qalb’) will become Blind…
he will become tired out and he will forget his own shortcomings.
The weakest of people is the one who criticizes others for what is in them,
and the weakest from amongst them is… ?
the one who criticizes others for what is also
within himself {!}

And …?
whoever criticizes others, will be criticized by them.’
Truthful was he who said:
‘If you rebuke others, they’ll rebuke you
and do so more!
And then what was hidden within you,
will be on show.

Someone once said in some statement of the past,
A word containing wisdom and beauty so vast :
If ever you mention people,
then leave behind their errors
For there is no error, except that yours can be said
If you criticize a people for what is not within them
Then that is mighty in the Sight of Allah
and also men,
And if you criticize them for what is also within you
…Then how can the one-eyed rebuke
the one-eyed too….. ?

And how can people be criticized by someone who
His faults are worse when all faults are diffused?
When you look for other’s defects, you shall indeed find them…
But remember that what is in you is far greater than them
So grant peace to the people, and leave them to themselves
For they can see your errors more than you can see yourself.’
Al-Shaybani mentioned that, “It is written in the Books that:
‘As you treat others, you shall be treated,
and …… ?
‘The cup you give to others~
is the cup you shall drink from‘

“Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil ‘akhirati hasanatan waqina ‘azhaban- naar.”

Barokalloh!
