عن أبي سعيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنه قال: سمعتُ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقوُل :

"مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَراً فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ، فَإنْ لمَ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبلِسانِهِ، فَإنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبقَلْبِهِ، وَذَلِكَ أضْعَفُ اْلإِيمَانِ"

"If one of you sees a wickedness, let him change it with his hand; if he is unable to do so then by the use of his tongue; if he is still unable, then with his heart and this is the weakest form of Imaan (faith)."

In several riwayaat that are also authentic is states the additional words, “And after that not even a mustard seed or equivalent of Imaan is left."

The Riots, Communities and Victims Panel, set up last year, highlights "500,000 forgotten families".

Poor parenting, an inability to prevent reoffending, and a lack of confidence in the police were also cited.

Schools which fail to teach pupils to read and write should be fined, it said.

The report is just one of several investigating the causes of the riots - which spread after the death of Mark Duggan in Tottenham on 4 August.

Schools in England should be fined if pupils leave school with poor literacy skills

Schools in England should be fined if pupils leave school with poor literacy skills, an independent report into last year's riots says.

It adds they should demonstrate how they are building pupils' characters, and give careers advice to each child.
