Badgumani | Bad Assumption
When Sayyiduna Bakr Bin ‘Abdullah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه saw an aged person, he would say: ‘He is better than me and is honoured with worshipping Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ before me.’ And when he saw a young person, he would say: ‘He is better than me because my sins are much more than his sins.’
He would also say: ‘O brothers! It is necessary for you to do the deed that earns you reward when you are right [in any matter] and that does not cause you sin when you are wrong. You should refrain from every such deed that does not earn you reward even if you are right and that causes you sin if you are wrong.’ He was asked: ‘What is that deed?’ He replied: ‘To have bad assumption about people, because you will not get reward even if your assumption proves to be right but you will become sinful if it proves to be wrong.’
(Hilyat-ul-Awliya, vol. 2, pp. 257, Hadees 2143)
There is no harm in good assumption
‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qaadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ states: ‘There is no harm in good assumption and there isn’t any benefit in bad assumption.’
Whenever a bad assumption about someone comes in your heart, you should think that it isn’t Wajib for me to investigate about his inner matters. Even if he is really involved in this evil
