قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ أَوْ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ كَانَ فِي ظِلِّ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْطَى النَّاسَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ مَا هُوَ سَائِلُهُمْ وَ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ رِجْلًا وَ لَمْ يُؤَخِّرْ رِجْلًا حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ لِلَّهِ رِضًا وَ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَعِبْ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ بِعَيْبٍ حَتَّى يَنْفِيَ ذَلِكَ الْعَيْبَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْفِي مِنْهَا عَيْباً إِلَّا بَدَا لَهُ عَيْبٌ وَ كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ شُغُلًا بِنَفْسِهِ عَنِ النَّاسِ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Usman Bin Jabala, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Three characteristics, the one who has these in him, or even one of these, he would be in the Shade of the Throne of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> on the Day when nothing will have the Shade (protection from the heat) – one does not prevent another man from a forward position or move backward except after knowing that his own moving forward is what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Wants.  A Muslim does not blame his Muslim brethren for a shortcoming until he removes such shortcoming from his own self; as soon one removes one defect from his soul another shortcoming and defect (becomes) known to him.  To occupied with correcting one’s own self is a full time occupation (to correct himself rather than finding faults with others)’.
