The Shaykh:
What is it? They said this is a narration in the hadith, said by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in a narration. Yes.

The questioner:
He says: Does this mean that the one who leaves off forbidding evil with his heart disbelieves because of that?

The Shaykh:
Yes. The one who does not forbid evil with his heart, this is proof that he is not
was a believer and beyond that there is no faith even to the extent of a mustard seed.مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَيْسَ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ حَبَّةُ خَرْدَلٍ
