00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
The Forty Hadiths of al-Nawawi

00:00:06.410 --> 00:00:10.410
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:15.410
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:

00:00:15.410 --> 00:00:20.410
Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand;

00:00:20.410 --> 00:00:23.410
if he cannot, then with his tongue;

00:00:23.410 --> 00:00:27.410
and if he cannot, then with his heart,

00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:30.600
and that is the weakest of faith.

00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:32.600
Narrated by Muslim.

00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:38.750
This hadith clarifies a great obligation among the obligations of Islam,

00:00:38.750 --> 00:00:42.750
which is enjoining good and forbidding evil.

00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:45.750
It is a means of preserving the righteousness of society

00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:48.750
and preventing the spread of corruption.

00:00:48.750 --> 00:00:51.820
The Prophet (peace be upon him) has established

00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:54.820
the levels of change according to one's ability,

00:00:54.820 --> 00:00:57.820
which demonstrates the mercy of the Sharia

00:00:57.820 --> 00:01:00.820
and its consideration for people's capabilities.

00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:06.819
Thus, the hadith trains the Muslim in responsibility toward his religion and his community,

00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:12.819
and to be proactive in correcting errors, each according to his ability.
