4340. It was narrated that Abū Sa'eed Al-Khurḍī said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Whoever sees an evil deed and is able to change it with his hand, then let him change it with his hand.'" Hannād omitted the rest of the Hadīth but Ibn Al-'Alā' completed it: "If he cannot (do that, then let him change it) with his tongue, if he cannot (change it) with his tongue, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith."[1] (Sahih) [1] It preceded, see no. 1740.
4340 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَعَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ رَأَى مُنْكَرًا فَاسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَهُ بِيَدِهِ فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ - وَقَطَعَ هَنَّادٌ بَقِيَّةَ الْحَدِيثِ، وَفَّاهُ ابْنُ الْعَلَاءِ: - فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِلِسَانِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ بِلِسَانِهِ فَبِقَلْبِهِ، وَذَلِكَ أَضْعَفُ الْإِيمَانِ "

“Change it” meaning, from Munkar or evil, to Ma'rūf or goodness. And this narration mentions three levels, covering faith; in the heart, with the tongue and with the limbs, and the least of it, “with his heart,” is faith.
