Does the verse (Do you enjoin righteousness upon people and forget yourselves?) include the one who commits sins and rebukes the one who commits them?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: And if a person is committing sins and then he rebukes another person for committing those same sins, does he fall under this verse?

Answer:
Yes, he falls under the verse, but he must not abandon enjoining good and forbidding evil, even if he is doing that thing himself. He must not combine two crimes: the sin and the failure to enjoin good and forbid evil. However, he should first remind himself that it is not befitting for him, for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, did not say, "Abandon enjoining good and forbidding evil because you are upon sins." Rather, this is a way of blaming and rebuking them for declaring themselves pure before [doing so]. Therefore, it is a condition, or rather it is required, for the one who enjoins good and forbids evil that he acts upon this in himself. Otherwise, people will say, "If he were sincere, he would not do it." Do not forbid a trait while you do the same; it is a disgrace upon you if you do it, and a bad ending. So if he abandons enjoining good and forbidding evil because he commits these things, that is combining two crimes: the crime of not rebuking and the crime of committing the evil. If the one who enjoins good and forbids evil had to be one who is one hundred percent pure, no one would have performed it, because few are free from deficiency. Few are free from deficiency.
So he must repent from this thing and remind himself, not abandon enjoining good and forbidding evil. Yes.
