1. We told by Muhammed bin Hasan, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Abbas bin Ma’ruf, from Uthman bin Isa, from Sama’a bin Mahran, that he said: I asked him about faith and Islam, so I said to him: Differentiate between faith and Islam. He said: And shall I give you the example of it? He said: I said: I would want that. He said: The example of faith from Islam is like the example of the Sacred Kaaba from the Sanctuary; a man may be in the Sanctuary and not be in the Kaaba, and he may not be in the Kaaba until he is in the Sanctuary. Hence, he may be a Muslim and may not be a believer, and he will not be a believer until he is a Muslim. He said: Then I said: Then does anything exclude him from faith? He said: Yes. I said: Then to what thing does it turn himـ? He said: To Islam or disbelief. And he said: If a man is to enter the Kaaba and his urine slips form him, he must be taken out of the Kaaba and must not go out of the Sanctury, and if he is to go out from the Sanctuary, wash his robe and purify himself, he is not prevented from entering the Kaaba. Whereas if a man is to enter the Kaaba and urinates in it intentionally, he must be taken out of the Kaaba and from the Sanctuary, and his neck is to be stricken.

2. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed, from Bikr bin Saleh al-Razi, from Abu’s-Silt al-Khurasani, that he said: I asked al-Rida, peace be upon him, about faith, so he said: Faith is a contract in the heart, uttering by the tongue and act with the limbs; faith is by nothing except like this.

IsnādAbu - qu'Allah lui fasse miséricorde - a dit: Nous a informés Sa'd ibn Abdullah, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad, de Bakr ibn Salih al-Razi, d'Abu al-Salt al-Kharasani, qui a dit: J'ai interrogé al-Rida (que la paix soit sur lui) au sujet de la foi. Il a dit: La foi est une conviction dans le cœur, une déclaration par la langue et une action par les membres. La foi n'est pas autre que cela.

La foi est une conviction dans le cœur, une déclaration par la langue et une action par les membres. La foi n'est pas autre que cela.

3. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ya’qoub bin Yazid, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Hafs bin Bukhturi, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Faith is not by adorning nor by wishing, however, faith is what has been made sincere in the heart and creceded by actions.

IsnādAbu - qu'Allah lui fasse miséricorde - a dit: Nous a informé Sa'd ibn Abdallah, de la part de Ya'qub ibn Yazid, de la part d'Ibn Abi 'Umayr, de la part de Hafs ibn al-Bakhtari, de la part d'Abu 'Abdillah - que la paix soit sur lui.

Le Messager d'Allah - que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui - a dit: "La foi ne réside ni dans les parures ni dans les souhaits, mais la foi est ce qui est pur dans le cœur et confirmé par les actions."

5. My father, may Allah grant him mercu, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Musa bin Qasem al-Bajali, from Sawfan bin Yahya, from Hisham bin Salim, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, one day met Haritha bin Nu’man al-Ansari, and he said to him: How have you become up at the morning, O Haritha? He said: I have become at the morning, O Allah’s Messenger, a true believer. He said: Indeed, for every (level of) faith there is a reality, so what is the reality of your faith? He said: I have prevented by self from this world, remained awake at my night and become thirsty during my day, and so, it is as if I am by the Throne of my Lord and the Reckoning is near, and it is as if I am by the people of Paradise who, in it, are being enticed, and by the people of the Fire who, in it, are being tormented. Then the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: You are a believer. May Allah enlighten faith in your heart, so remain firm, may Allah make you firm. Then he said to him: O Messenger of Allah, there is nothing on my self from which I am more fearful over, than my vision. Then the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, supplicated and his vision went away.

IsnādAbu - qu'Allah lui fasse miséricorde - a dit: Nous a informés Sa'd ibn Abdallah, qui a dit: Nous a informés Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Isa, de Musa ibn al-Qasim al-Bajali, de Safwan ibn Yahya, de Hisham ibn Salim, de Abu 'Abdullah - que la paix soit sur lui - qui a dit: Le Messager d'Allah - que la prière et la paix d'Allah soient sur lui - rencontra un jour Haritha ibn al-Nu'man al-Ansari, et lui dit: "Comment te portes-tu ce matin, ô Haritha?" Il répondit: "Je me porte bien, ô Messager d'Allah, en tant que croyant. Vraiment." Le Prophète lui demanda: "Chaque croyance a une réalité, quelle est la réalité de ta croyance?" Il répondit: "J'ai détourné mon âme de ce monde, j'ai passé mes nuits en prière et j'ai jeûné pendant mes jours, comme si je voyais le Trône de mon Seigneur proche pour le Jugement, et comme si j'entendais les habitants du Paradis se réjouir et les habitants de l'Enfer être tourmentés." Le Messager d'Allah - que la prière et la paix d'Allah soient sur lui - lui dit: "Tu es un croyant, la lumière de la foi d'Allah est dans ton cœur, que ton ancrage soit ferme." Haritha dit alors: "Ô Messager d'Allah, il n'y a rien que je crains plus pour moi-même que ma vue." Le Messager d'Allah - que la prière et la paix d'Allah soient sur lui - pria pour lui et sa vue fut restaurée.

6. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Muhammed ibn Hussain bin Abi’l-Khattab, from Muhammed bin Isma’eel bin Bazee’, from Muhammed bin ‘Adhafir, from his father, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, was with us during some of his journeys, as a convoy met him and said: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah. So he said: What are you? They said: We are believers. He said: What is the reality of your faith? He said: Satisfaction with the decision of Allah, submission to the commandment of Allah and entrustment to Allah, Exalted is He. Then he said: Wise scholars, as if they are to be, due to wisdom, Prophets. Hence, if you are truthful, then do not built that which you will not dwell in, and do not gather that which you will not consume, and fear Allah to Whom you will return.

IsnādMuhammad ibn al-Hasan nous a informés, que Dieu lui fasse miséricorde, a dit: Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar nous a informés, de la part de Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abi al-Khattab, de la part de Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Buzay', de la part de Muhammad ibn 'Udhafir, de son père, de la part d'Abu Ja'far, que la paix soit sur lui, a dit:

Pendant l'un de ses voyages, le Messager de Dieu, que la prière et la paix de Dieu soient sur lui et sa famille, rencontra une caravane qui lui dit: "Que la paix soit sur toi, ô Messager de Dieu". Il leur demanda: "Qui êtes-vous?" Ils répondirent: "Nous sommes croyants". Il demanda alors: "Quelle est la véritable essence de votre foi?" Ils répondirent: "L'acceptation du décret de Dieu, la soumission aux ordres de Dieu et la remise de nos affaires à Dieu Très-Haut". Il dit alors: "Les savants sages auraient pu être des prophètes, si vous êtes sincères, alors ne construisez pas là où vous ne demeurerez pas, ne stockez pas ce que vous ne consommerez pas, et craignez Dieu vers qui vous serez ramenés".
