Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 592
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مِسْكِينُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ الْحَذَّاءُ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الأَصَمِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: يُبْصِرُ أَحَدُكُمُ الْقَذَاةَ فِي عَيْنِ أَخِيهِ، وَيَنْسَى الْجِذْلَ، أَوِ الْجِذْعَ، فِي عَيْنِ نَفْسِهِ.

Muhammad ibn ‘Ubayd ibn Maymun related to us: Miskin ibn Bukayr al-Hadhdha’ al-Harrani related to us, from Ja‘far ibn Burqan, from Yazid ibn al-Asamm, who said: I heard Abu Hurayrah say: “One of you sees a speck in his brother’s eye and forgets the great log—or tree trunk—in his own eye.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic preserves a variant, الجذل أو الجذع (“a large log or tree trunk”), contrasting with the tiny speck in the other person’s eye.
