Hadith 47

(The book) ‘Al Tawheed’ – from Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Ibn Marouf, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Abdul Raheem Al Qaseyr who said, ‘I wrote upon the hand of Abdul Malik Bin Ayn to Abdullah-asws asking him-asws about the Eman, ‘What is it? ’
He-asws wrote: ‘The Eman, it is the acceptance by the tongue, and belief with the heart, and action with the body parts. The Eman, part of it is from part, and the servant would be a Muslim before he happens to be a Momin, and he cannot be a Momin until he happens to be a Muslim, for is before Al-Eman, and it participates the Eman. When the servant comes with a major sins from the major disobediences, or a minor sin from the minor disobediences which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Prohibited from, he would be expelled from the Eman and the name ‘Al-Eman’ would be dropped from him while the name ‘ ’ would (still) be affirmed upon him. If he were to repent and seek Forgiveness, he would return to the Eman. And it would not expel him to the Kufr except the rejection and the permitting, when he says for the Permissible, ‘This is Prohibited’, and for the Prohibited, ‘This is Permissible’, and he makes it a religion with that. During it, he would be expelled from the Eman and to the Kufr, and he would be at the status of a man who enters the Sanctuary, then enters the Kabah so he defecates in the Kabah with a defecation. He would be expelled from the Kabah and from the Sanctuary and his neck would be struck off, and he would go to the Fire’ – the Hadeeth’’. [51]
