Épargner des vies (et respecter la confiance), mais la récompense vient de la croyance

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, ‘The Arabs have said, “We have established belief.” Say, “You have not established belief but say, ‘We have accepted Islam.’ Belief has not yet entered your hearts.’” (49:14) The Imam said, ‘You must note that belief is something other than Islam’”

Les Bédouins disent : "Nous avons la foi". Dis : "Vous n'avez pas encore la foi ; dites plutôt : 'Nous nous sommes soumis', car la foi n'a pas encore pénétré dans vos cœurs". Ne vois-tu pas que la foi est distincte de l'islam.

4. Muhammad ibnYahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sufyan ibn al-Simt who has said the following: “Once a man asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘What is the difference between Islam and belief?’ The Imam then did not answer. Again he asked and the Imam did not answer. They then met each other on the road while the man was about to leave. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) said, ‘It seems as if you are about to leave.’ He said, ‘Yes, I am about to leave.’ The Imam then said, ‘Come home for a meeting.’ He met the Imam and asked him about Islam and belief and about the difference between the two. The Imam said, ‘Islam is what people have publicly accepted, such as that no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah, Who has no partners. That Muhammad (a.s.) is His servant and His Messenger, that it is obligatory to perform prayer, pay al-Zakat (charity), to perform Hajj of the House and fast in the month of Ramadan. This is Islam.’ The Imam (also) said, ‘Belief is recognition of this issue (that the Imam possesses Divine Authority). In such a condition, if one affirms the other principles of Islam but does not recognize this issue (that the Imam possesses Divine Authority) he is a Muslim but is lost.’”

Un homme a interrogé Abu Abdullah (sur lui soit la paix) au sujet de l'Islam et de la foi, et quelle est la différence entre les deux. Il ne lui répondit pas. Il lui posa à nouveau la question, mais il ne lui répondit pas. Ils se rencontrèrent ensuite sur le chemin, et l'homme avait déjà pris ses affaires pour partir. Abu Abdullah (sur lui soit la paix) lui dit : "Il semble que tu t'apprêtes à partir." L'homme répondit par l'affirmative. Il lui dit alors : "Laisse tes affaires à la maison." Il le rencontra et lui demanda à nouveau la différence entre l'Islam et la foi. Il répondit : "L'Islam est ce qui est apparent, sur quoi les gens témoignent qu'il n'y a de divinité digne d'adoration qu'Allah, seul, sans associé, et que Muhammad est Son serviteur et Messager, et l'établissement de la prière, le paiement de la zakat, le pèlerinage à la Maison Sacrée et le jeûne du mois de Ramadan. Voilà l'Islam." Il dit : "La foi est la reconnaissance de cette affaire avec cela. Celui qui l'accepte sans la reconnaître est musulman mais égaré."

5. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad and a number of our people from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all of them from al- Washsha’ from Aban from abu Basir who has said the following: “I heard Abu Ja’far (a.s.) saying, ‘The Arabs have said, “We have established belief.” Say, “You have not established belief but say, ‘We have accepted Islam.’ Belief has not yet entered your hearts.” (49:14) Whoever thinks that they (Arabs) had belief, his thoughts are false and whoever thinks that they had not accepted Islam he has lied.’”

Les Bédouins dirent : "Nous avons cru". Dis : "Vous n'avez pas encore cru ; mais dites plutôt : 'Nous nous sommes soumis', car la foi n'a pas encore pénétré profondément dans vos cœurs. Et si vous obéissez à Allah et à Son messager, Il ne vous fera rien perdre de vos œuvres". Quiconque obéit à Allah et à Son messager, certes, aura certes atteint un succès éclatant.

6. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from Hakam ibn Ayman from Qasim associate of al-Mufaddal who has said that he heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) say the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Islam is to protect life, return the trust and make marriages lawful. Reward, however, comes from belief.’”

"L'Islam purifie le sang, garantit la fidélité, permet les relations conjugales licites, et récompense la foi."
