What are the degrees of changing what is wrong?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student : Today I read in a book, which appears to be a statement by Imam Ahmad, that I read in a book saying: "If the one whose prayer is good sees the one whose prayer is defective and does not forbid him, and adds a portion of the defect that the defective one committed by not teaching him." This is it. ?
The Shaykh : His statement (peace and blessings be upon him) is well known:Sunan an-Nasa'i 5008Sahih (Darussalam) . This hadith is a general principle that covers every evil a person sees, and he must change it. The first degree is by hand, if the wrong can only be changed by hand; the second degree is by tongue, and this is what is obligatory regarding the one whose prayer is defective; and the last degree, which no Muslim can neglect no matter how weak his faith is, is the rejection of the heart.
The Shaykh : His statement (peace and blessings be upon him) is well known:
Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if he cannot, then with his heart- and that is the weakest of Faith.
من رأى منكم منكرا فلغيره بيده فإن لم يستطع فبلسانه فإن لم يستطع فبقلبه وذلك أضعف الإيمان
