"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".

"From Ibn Mas'ud who said: Do not be hasty in praising people or in blaming them. For perhaps you see in your brother something that pleases you, and perhaps it will displease you from him tomorrow. And perhaps you see from him today something that displeases you, and perhaps it will please you from him tomorrow. People reproach, but it is Allah who forgives sins, and Allah is more merciful to people than a mother to her one child. She spreads for him in a sandy ground, then if it is a sting, she was there before him, and if it is a thorn, she was there before him."
