۞
Imam al-Sadiq (AS) answered some questions that a Syrian man had come to ask him, after which the latter said, 'I am a Muslim right now. Imam said, 'No, rather you have faith right now, for Islam comes before faith [i.e. you were already a Muslim], and is the means by which people inherit each other and marry each other, whereas faith is the means by which they are rewarded.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) لرجُلٍ شاميٍّ سَألَهُ عن مَسائلَ ، فلَمّا أجابَهُ قالَ : أسلَمتُ للّهِ الساعَةَ : بَل آمَنتَ بِاللّه الساعَةَ ، إنَّ الإسلامَ قبلَ الإيمانِ وعلَيهِ يَتوارَثُونَ ويَتَناكَحُونَ ، والإيمانُ علَيهِ يُثابُونَ .
