3 - حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الحَسَن بْنِ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ الوَلِيد رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الحَسَن الصَفَّار عَن أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَن بَكْرِ بْنِ صالِح الرَّازِيُّ، عَن أَبي الصَّلْتِالهَرَوِيِّ قالَ سَأَلْت الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَنِ الإِيمان فَقالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: الإِيمان عَقدٌ بِالقَلب وَلَفظٌ بِاللِّسانِ وَعَمَلٌ بِالجَوارِح لا يَكُونُ الإيمانُ إِلاّ هكَذا.
22-3 Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Waleed - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on theauthority of Bakr ibn Salih al-Razi, on the authority of Abi Salt al-Harawi, “I asked Al-Ridha صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم about faith. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, ‘Faith is belief in the heart, expression by the tongue and enacting by the body parts. Anything else would not be faith.’”
