Arabic text

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قالَتِ الأعْرابُ آمَنَّا قُلْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَلكِنْ قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلِ الإيمانُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ فَقَالَ لِي أَ لا تَرَى أَنَّ الإيمَانَ غَيْرُ الإسْلامِ.

Translation

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’”
