قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله: "الرفق سبيل Ø§Ù„أمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر، ولهذا قيل: ليكن أمرك بالمعروف، بالمعروف ونهيك عن المنكر غير منكر"

رسالة الأمر بالمعروف ص. ١٧

Shaykh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah - rahimahullaah - said: 'Gentleness is a route in commanding goodness and forbidding evil. It is for this reason it was said: Let your commanding goodness be with goodness and your forbidding evil not through evil.'

Risaalah al-Amr Bil Mar'uuf p.17 as quoted in Lamm Ad-Durr al-Manthuur Minal Qaul Ma'thuur, p.258.
