From the Advice of
Abbaad Ibn Abbaad Al-Khawwaas to
Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah
Let your attitude be, when finding something you disapprove of in your brothers
***as though you are offering help from yourselves to yourselves
*****offering sincerity from yourselves to your Lord
*******and offering sympathy from yourselves to your brothers.
If you do that, then your own faults will be of more concern to you than those of anyone else, and each of you would seek to wean sincere advice from each other, and whoever offers sincere advice to you and submits it from among you, will enjoy your good favours and graces. 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab (radiallahu anhu) said, concerning this, "May Allah have mercy on the one who brought my faults to my attention."
Abbaad Ibn Abbaad Al-Khawwaas ash-Shaamee Aboo Utbah was one of the excellent people of Sham. Yahyaa ibn Ma'een declared him to be trustworthy (thiqah), as did Ya'qoob ibn Sufyaan al-Fasawee. His biography can be found in Taareekh ad-Daarimee (495)...
