Information is not like observation. Allah (Subhan Wa Tala) told Musa (Peace be Upon Him) that his people were doing this and that, but he did not react. When he observed them, then he smashed the tablets. (Sahih ul Jami, 5374)

The souls are dispatched armies, so what is recognizable to them attracts, and what is not recognizable to them causes separation. (Bukhari)

The witness sees what was not seen by the absent. (Sahih ul Jami, 3728)

People’s relationship to Adam and Hawwa is like the most insignificant measure, by it alone they would never be complete. Indeed Allah will not ask you about your bodies nor your lineages on the Day of Judgment, the most noble of you to Allah are those of you with the most piety. (As Sahiha, 1038)

One of you looks at the dust in the eye of the brother, while he forgets about the large splinter in his own eye. ( Adab al Mufrad)

The parable of the one who gives something then takes it back is that of the dog who eats until he vomits, then he eats his vomit. (Sahih Sunan at Tirmidhi, 1730)

The parable of the believer is that of grain stalk, sometimes it sways and sometimes it stands straight. ( Sahih ul Jami, 5845)

{The above mentioned have been taken from Sahih Kitaab al Amthaal (parables) by Abu Ash Shaykh al Asbahani.}
