A man judges others by his own values and thoughts

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by HadithAnswers.com

Question

Is the following a Hadith or or it is simply a saying:

المرء يقيس على نفسه

Answer

I have not come across this as a Hadith. This seems to be an Arabic proverb.

Translation

A person judges [others] by his own [values and thoughts]. i.e. How one thinks of others is a reflection of his own internal state.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
