[Machine] I heard Abu Huraira saying, "One of you should remove the speck from his brother's eye, but forgets about the log or branch in his own eye."  

الزهد لأحمد:٩٩٥ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ يُبْصِرُ أحَدُكُمُ الْقَذَاةَ فِي عَيْنِ أَخِيهِ وَيَنْسَى الْجَذْعَ أَوِ الْجِذْلَ فِي عَيْنِهِ

Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān, Suyūṭī

Before pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ تَفَقُّدِ عُيُوبِ نَفْسِهِ دُونَ طَلَبِ مَعَايِبِ النَّاسِ

ibnhibban:5761 – Abū ʿArūbah > Kathīr b. ʿUbayd > Muḥammad b. Ḥimyar > Jaʿfar b. Burqān > Yazīd b. al-Aṣam > Abū Hurayrah

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “One of you may see a splinter in your brother's eye, but forget the log in your own.”  

ابن حبّان:٥٧٦١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَرُوبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِمْيَرٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُبْصِرُ أَحَدُكُمُ الْقَذَاةَ فِي عَيْنِ أَخِيهِ وَيَنْسَى الْجِذْعَ فِي عَيْنِهِ»
