Jubayr ibn Nufayr reported that
Mu'adh ibn Jabal (radiAllahu anhu) said,

"If you love someone, do not quarrel with him
and do not annoy him.
Do not ask others about him,

and thus tell you things about him
that are not true and thus break you apart."

Hadith - Bukhari's Book of Manners #889 and Ibn Hibban

'Amr ibn al 'As (radiAllahu anhu) said,

"...I am amazed at one
who spots an impurity in the eye of another
but is unable to detect it in his/her own eye,
or who attempts to remove
a grudge from another's heart
while making no attempt to remove
grduges from his/her own heart.
I have never blamed anyone
for the confidences of mine
that they have betrayed.
How could I,
when already they have given me
reason for pause?"
