Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whoever amongst you sees an evil, he must change it with his hand; if he is unable to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is unable to do so, then with his heart; and that is the weakest form of Faith". <b>[Muslim]</b>.

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) There are levels for forbidding evil which are related to ability, power, and consideration of responsibility.<br>
2) Whoever seeks salvation should follow the approach used by the prophets in calling to Allah Almighty.<br>
3) Muslims are urged to strive against those who act contrary to the Islamic law, each according to what he is able to do, because abandoning this duty altogether is a sign of the absence of faith in a person’s heart.<br>
4) The best people, next to prophets, are their companions.<br>
5) The Hadith warns a Muslim against claiming to do what he does not really do, or doing what he is not commanded to do.
