Is the hadith: "Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if he cannot, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith. And he who is silent about evil is like its doer," authentic?

The hadith: "Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if he cannot, then with his heart—and that is the weakest of faith" is authentically narrated in Sahih Muslim, except for the last phrase: "He who is silent about evil is like one who commits it." This phrase has no basis and its meaning is incorrect, for not every person silent about evil is like one who commits it, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, made denouncing evil with the heart a level of changing evil.

If it were said: "He who approves of evil is like one who commits it" or "He who is pleased with evil is like one who commits it," it would be correct; due to the Prophet's saying, peace and blessings be upon him: "If a sin is committed on earth, he who witnesses it and dislikes it is like one who was absent from it, and he who was absent from it and was pleased with it is like one who witnessed it," and his saying: "So whoever dislikes it is absolved, and whoever denounces it is safe, but he who is pleased and follows." Approval of sins is among the most reprehensible prohibitions, and by it, the denunciation of sin by the heart is missed. As for the hadith: "He who enjoins good is like one who commits it," it is fabricated.
