CHAPTER: Proof Of Increase And Decrease Of Faith.
Ibn Abbas said: when the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم turned towards the Kaabah (in prayer), the people asked: Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم! what will happen with those who died while they prayed with their faces towards Jerusalem ? Allah the Exalted, then revealed: “And never would Allah make your faith of no effect. ”
Narrated Abu Umamah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone loves for Allah's sake, hates for Allah's sake, gives for Allah's sake and withholds for Allah's sake, he will have perfect faith.
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The most perfect believer in respect of faith is he who is best of them in manners.
Saad bin Abi Waqqas said: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gave some people and did not give anything to a man of them. Saad said: Messenger of Allah! You gave so and so, so and so, but did not give anything to so and so while he is a believer. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Or he is a Muslim. Saad repeated it thrice and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then said: I give some people and leave him who is dearer to me than them. I do not give him anything fearing lest he should fall into Hell on his face.
Explaining the verse, “say ; You have no faith, but you only say: We have submitted our wills to Allah”, Al-Zuhri said: We think that ISLAM is a word, and faith is an action.
Saad said: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم distributed (spoils) among the people I said to him: Give so and so for he is a believer. He said: Or he is a Muslim. I give a man something while another man is dearer to me than him, fearing that he may fall into Hell on his face.
Ibn Umar reported the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Do not turn unbelievers after me ; one of you may strike the neck of the other.
Ibn Umar reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: If any believing man calls another believing man an unbeliever, if he is actually an infidel, it is all right ; if not, he will become an infidel.
Abdullah bin Amr reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Four characteristics constitute anyone who possesses them a sheer hypocrite, and anyone who possesses one of them possesses a characteristics of hypocrisy till he abandons it: when he talks he lies, when he makes a promise he violates it, when he makes a covenant he acts treacherously, and when he quarrels, he deviates from the Truth.
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: When one commits fornication, one is not a believer ; when one steals, one is not a believer ; when one drinks, one is not a believer ; and repentance is placed before him.
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: When a man commits fornication, faith departs from him and there is something like a canvas roof over his head; and when he quits that action, faith returns to him.
