[Machine] Abdullah said, "Do not rush to praise people or to criticize them, for perhaps you may see something from your brother today that pleases you, but tomorrow it may displease you, and perhaps you may see something from him today that displeases you, but tomorrow it may please you. People will always find faults. Only Allah forgives sins on the Day of Judgment, and Allah is more merciful to His servant on the day he meets Him than a mother who spreads her garment for her child, and she touches him with her hand. If there is a thorn, it is as if it had harmed her before him, and if there is a sting, it is as if it had harmed her before him."  

الطبراني:٨٩٢٩حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثنا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ قَالَ

عَبْدُ اللهِ «لَا تَعْجَلُوا بِحَمْدِ النَّاسِ وَلَا بِذَمِّهِمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَرَى مِنْ أَخِيكَ الْيَوْمَ شَيْئًا يُعْجِبُكَ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَسُوءَكَ غَدًا وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَرَى مِنْهُ الْيَوْمَ شَيْئًا يَسُوءُكَ لَعَلَّهُ يُعْجِبُكَ غَدًا وَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يُعَيِّرُونَ وَإِنَّمَا يَغْفِرُ اللهُ الذُّنُوبَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاللهُ أَرْحَمُ بِعَبْدِهِ يَوْمَ يَلْقَاهُ مِنْ أُمِّ وَاحِدٍ فَرَشَتْ لَهُ بِأَرْضٍ فِي ثُمَّ لَمَسَتْهُ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ شَوْكَةٌ كَانَتْ بِهَا قَبْلَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَدْغَةٌ كَانَتْ بِهَا قَبْلَهُ»

"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: لا تَعْجَلُوا بَحمْدِ النَّاسِ وَلا بِذَمِّهِمْ فَإنَّكَ لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى مِنْ أَخِيكَ شَيْئًا يَسُرُّكَ، وَلَعَلَّكَ يَسُوءُكَ مِنْهُ غَدًا وَلَعَلَّكَ تَرى مِنْهُ اليومَ شَيْئًا يَسُوءُكَ مِنْهُ غَدًا، وَلَعَلَّكَ تَرَى مِنْهُ اليْومَ شَيئًا يَسُوءكَ، وَلَعَلَّكَ يَسُركَ مِنْهُ غَدًا، والنَّاسُ يعيرون وَإنَّمَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنوبَ اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَرْحَمُ بِالنَّاسِ مِنْ أُمِّ وَاحِد فَرَشَتْ لَهُ بِأرْضِ فىْءٍ ثم لَمَسَتْ فَإنْ كَانَتْ لَدْغَةٌ كَانَتْ بِهَا قَبْلَهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ شَوْكَةٌ كَانَتْ بِهَا قَبْلَهُ".
