ما يُثَبِّتُ الإيمانَ That Which Consolidates Faith

42ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ وقد سُئلَ عمّا يُثَبِّتُ الإيمانَ في العبدِ ـ : الّذي يُثَبّتُهُ فيهِ الوَرَعُ ، والّذي يُخْرِجُهُ مِنهُ الطَّمَعُ.

42- Imam al-Sadiq (AS), when asked what consolidates a servant’s faith, replied, ‘The thing that consolidates it in him is piety, and that which takes him out of it [i.e. faith] is greed.’[al-Khisal, p. 9, no. 29]

 

43ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لا يَثْبُتُ لَه الْإيمانُ إلّا بالعَمَلِ ، والعَمَلُ مِنهُ.

43- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Faith is only consolidated in him through action, and action is a part of it.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 38, no. 6]
