Beware of Your Own Self
Imām Ibn Taimiyyah, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
A slave [of Allāh] doesn’t trust and feel settled with his [own] soul—evil doesn’t come except from it. And he doesn’t occupy himself blaming people and finding fault with them. Instead, he goes back to [his own] sins and repents from them, asks Allāh for protection from the evil of his [own] soul and his [own] sinful deeds, and asks Allāh to help him obey Him.

[احذر شرَّ نفسك]
قال الإمامُ ابن تيميّة:
"العبدُ لا يطمئنُّ إلى نفسه؛فإنّ الشّرَّ لا يجيءُ إلا منها،ولايشتغلُ بمَلَامِ النّاسِ وذمّهمْ،ولكنْ يرجعُ إلى الذُّنوبِ فيتُوبُ منهاويَستعيذُ باللّهِ مِنْ شرِّ نفسهِ وسَيّئاتِ عملهِ،و يسألُ اللهَ أن يُعينه على طاعته"(مجموع الفتاوى)(٨/ ٢١٥)— أ.د. عبدالله البخاري (@dr_albukhary) June 16, 2022
