Looking into People’s Intentions
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Among the most constricted of people in their chests and the most [afflicted] of them with worry and distress are [those] who’ve gotten used to having bad thoughts [of others] without any clear proof and drowned themselves in interpreting [people’s] intentions without any evidence or explanation. If only they’d give themselves a rest from that, they’d have put their affairs in order thereby and spared people their evil.
That’s why jihad against oneself is from the greatest forms of jihad, due to how difficult that is for people to do—other than those to whom my Lord has given [special] care and mercy.

من أضيق الناس صدرا
وأكثرهم همّا وغمّا
من اعتاد سوء الظن بغير برهان
وأغرق نفسه في تفسير النوايا دون دليل وتبيان
ولو أراح نفسه من ذلك؛ لأصلح بذلك أمره،
وكفى الناس شرّه.
ولذا كان جهاد النفس من أعظم الجهاد؛ لتعسّره على الناس إلا من رحم ربي.— د.محمد بن غالب العُمري (@m_g_alomari) May 19, 2022
