وَلَا صَبْرٌ لَهُ عَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ

And he has no patience for enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong.

وَالنَّهْيِ and forbidding

Here wa- pairs two matched duties, 'enjoining right' and 'forbidding wrong', binding them into one familiar formula rather than a loose list. After it comes an action-noun ('the forbidding') with al- making it definite. The wa- of pairing keeps the two halves balanced.
