Question:
What are the conditions that must be present in the person who enjoins good and forbids evil?
Answer:
The most important is knowledge; the most important is that he be knowledgeable about what he enjoins and what he forbids.
And among these, as the scholars mentioned:
Patience and gentleness; he should be patient in what he enjoins and forbids, and gentle in that. Anger should not provoke him, nor should haste take him; rather, he should be gentle, not hasty, and not angry. Rather, he should be patient during discussion, research, and reproof.
So the most important matters are: knowledge, that he be clear-sighted in what he enjoins and forbids, along with patience and gentleness, and avoiding haste in matters, severity, and harshness.
