Arabic text

4985 - أَنْبَأَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ: أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «الْإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ»

Commentary

This Faith is the root of action, without which the tree of Faith and Islam cannot be visualized at all; and without it no good action gives any benefit. When this Faith exists, one's entrance into Paradise is absolute, or after undergoing punishment. In this narration, Faith has been stipulated as action. This corroborates the statement that actions are part of Faith.
