Shaykh Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb al-Kulaynī · Belief Is Inclusive of Islam but Islam Is Not Inclusive of Belief
1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإسْلامِ وَالإيمَانِ أَ هُمَا مُخْتَلِفَانِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الإيمَانَ يُشَارِكُ الإسْلامَ وَالإسْلامَ لا يُشَارِكُ الإيمَانَ فَقُلْتُ فَصِفْهُمَا لِي فَقَالَ الإسْلامُ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله وَالتَّصْدِيقُ بِرَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) بِهِ حُقِنَتِ الدِّمَاءُ وَعَلَيْهِ جَرَتِ الْمَنَاكِحُ وَالْمَوَارِيثُ وَعَلَى ظَاهِرِهِ جَمَاعَةُ النَّاسِ وَالإيمَانُ الْهُدَى وَمَا يَثْبُتُ فِي الْقُلُوبِ مِنْ صِفَةِ الإسْلامِ وَمَا ظَهَرَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ بِهِ وَالإيمَانُ أَرْفَعُ مِنَ الإسْلامِ بِدَرَجَةٍ إِنَّ الإيمَانَ يُشَارِكُ الإسْلامَ فِي الظَّاهِرِ وَالإسْلامَ لا يُشَارِكُ الإيمَانَ فِي الْبَاطِنِ وَإِنِ اجْتَمَعَا فِي الْقَوْلِ وَالصِّفَةِ.
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih from Sama’a who has said the following: “I requested Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘Teach me about Islam and belief. Are they different?’ He said, ‘Belief is inclusive of Islam but Islam is not inclusive of belief.’ I then asked, ‘Please describe them to me.’ He said, ‘Islam is to testify that no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah and to affirm the truthfulness of the Messenger of Allah. With it lives are protected, marriages and inheritance become lawful and a group of people acknowledge this much. Belief is guidance and that which forms in the heart of the qualities of Islam and that which takes form from its practice. Belief is a degree higher than Islam. Belief is inclusive of Islam in appearance but Islam is not inclusive of belief esoterically even though they may both apply to words and in description.’”
