The Meanings of Reports · Hadith 306 (#Ḥadīth #3)

أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن حفص بن البختري، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ليس الايمان بالتحلي ولا بالتمني ولكن الايمان ما خلص في القلب وصدقه الأعمال.

3. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ya’qoub bin Yazid, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Hafs bin Bukhturi, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Faith is not by adorning nor by wishing, however, faith is what has been made sincere in the heart and creceded by actions.
