3. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Yunus from ibn Bukayr from abu ‘Umayyah Yusuf ibn Thabit who has said the following
“I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘With belief no deed can harm one and with disbelief no deed can benefit one. Consider how Allah has said it, ‘What prevents their offerings from acceptance is their disbelief in Allah and His Messenger, their lack of interest in prayer and spending for the cause of Allah reluctantly, (9:54) ‘. . . and they die as disbelievers.’” (9:125)
3ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ يُوسُفَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ لا يَضُرُّ مَعَ الإيمَانِ عَمَلٌ وَلا يَنْفَعُ مَعَ الْكُفْرِ عَمَلٌ أَ لا تَرَى أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَما مَنَعَهُمْ أَنْ تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقاتُهُمْ إِلا أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِالله وَبِرَسُولِهِ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ.
