Believer's self-righteousness and sincerity

Hadith #1

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى اَلْعَطَّارُ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ ع قَالَ : اَلْمُؤْمِنُ أَصْدَقُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ مُؤْمِناً عَلَيْهِ.

Mohammed bin al-Hasan bin Ahmed bin al-Waleed, Allah may have mercy upon him, narrated to us from Mohammed bin Yahya al-Attar from one of his companions that Abu Abdullah said: The believer is self-righteous. He is more sincere with himself than seventy believers.
