  1. Oh servants of Allah! You are like patients & the lord of mortals is like a physician.

Whoever of you observes an evil (in society) must change it (object over it) physically with his hand so if he does not have the power of it then he must object over it by his tongue & if he does not have the strength of that, he must object upon it in his heart. (He must not remain indifferent to it) And this is the lowest status of faith. [^33]

(تفسير الکاشف ج4ص220).
