60 – Nasr ibn Tarkhan narrated to us; ‘Imran ibn Khalid al-Khuza‘i narrated to us; he said: al-Hasan—may Allah have mercy on him—used to say:

“O child of Adam, you will never reach the essence of true faith until you stop censuring people for a fault that is also in you, and until you first set that very fault right within yourself. When you have done that, your concerns will be confined to your own soul. The servants most loved by Allah are those who live in this way.”
