Explanation of Hadith no. 34 in An-Nawawi’s 40 Hadith:

“Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to so, then let him change it with his tongue; and if he is not able to so, then with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim]

The explanation of Shaykh Salih ‘Uthaymin (rahimahullaah) has been transcribed from an Islamic lesson (#65) on the study series, “Explanation of Imaam an-Nawawi’s 40 Hadith” given by Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq in Middlesbrough on 18th July 2010.

This is a hadith which many misunderstand and misapply so it is crucial that one gains the correct understanding and adheres to it with one’s speech and actions.
