If You Really Want to Be Just, Follow This Rule
The shaikh, Dr. ʿAbdullāh Al-Bukhārī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Imām Muslim reported in [his] Al-Ṣaḥīḥ a lengthy ḥadīth in which is [found] the saying of the Messenger ﷺ: “And [a person] must approach people [with actions] that he [himself] likes to be approached with.”
Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥāzim said: “One who wants to be just and impartial should imagine himself in his adversary’s place; indeed, then it will become clear to him the way he [himself] has been unjust or done wrong.”

[ضابطُ الإنصافِ]
أخرج الإمام مسلم في(الصحيح) حديثاً مطوّلا ومنه قولُ رسولِ اللّه صلّى اللّه عليه وسلّم:(وليأتِ إلى النّاس الّذي يُحِبُّ أنْ يُؤتَى إليهِ)
قال الحافظ ابنُ حزمٍ:
"مَنْ أرادَ الإنصافَ؛فليتوهّم نفسَهُ مكانَ خصمهِ،فإنّه يلُوحُ لهُ وَجهُ تعسُّفه"
