3. Ali has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from Fudayl ibnYasar who has said the following
“I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘Belief is inclusive of Islam but Islam is not inclusive of it. Belief is what sits in the heart and Islam is that which legalizes marriages and inheritance and protects lives. Belief is inclusive of Islam but Islam is not inclusive of belief.’”
3ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ الإيمَانَ يُشَارِكُ الإسْلامَ وَلا يُشَارِكُهُ الإسْلامُ إِنَّ الإيمَانَ مَا وَقَرَ فِي الْقُلُوبِ وَالإسْلامَ مَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَنَاكِحُ وَالْمَوَارِيثُ وَحَقْنُ الدِّمَاءِ وَالإيمَانَ يَشْرَكُ الإسْلامَ وَالإسْلامَ لا يَشْرَكُ الإيمَانَ‏.
