Whoever observes excesses being committed and people being called towards evil, and disapproves of it with his heart, is safe and free [from responsibility for it], and whoever disapproves of it with his tongue will be rewarded for it, and he is in a higher position than the former. But whoever disapproves of it with his sword in order that the proof of Allah may remain superior and the word of the oppressors may remain inferior, has found the path of guidance and stands on the right way while his heart is illuminated with conviction.

5 إنَّ مَنْ رَأى عُدْواناً يُعمَلُ بهِ، ومُنْكَراً يُدعى إلَيهِ، فَأنْكَرَهُ بِقَلْبِهِ فَقَدْ سَلِمَ وبَرِئَ، ومَنْ أنْكَرَهُ بِلِسانِهِ فَقَد اُجِرَ، وهُوَ أفْضَلُ مِنْ صاحِبِهِ، وَمَنْ أنْكَرَهُ بِسَيفِهِ لِتَكُونَ حُجَّةُ اللّهِ العُلْيا، وكَلِمَةُ الظَّالِمينَ السُّفلى، فَذلكَ الَّذي أصابَ سَبيلَ الهُدى، وَقامَ عَلَى الطَّريْقِ، ونَوَّرَ في قَلْبِهِ اليَقينُ.
