Hadith 48

Tafseer Al Numany –
By the chain which is in ‘Kitab Al-Qur’an’, from Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘And as for the Eman and the Kufr, and its increase and its reduction, so the Eman with Allah-azwj the Exalted, it is the loftiest of the deeds in rank, and its noblest of status, and its highest in share’. It was said to him-asws, ‘The Eman is word and action, or word without any action? ’
He-asws said; ‘The Eman is ratifying with the heart, and accepting with the tongue, and working with the body parts, and all of it is a deed, and from it is the complete, and from its completion is perfect, and from it is the deficient, its deficiency is clear, and from it is the increase, its increase is clear. Allah-azwj the Exalted did not Impose the Eman upon the limbs from the limbs of the human except and He-azwj has Allocated with other than what He-azwj has Allocated the other with it. From these is his heart which he uses his intellect with and ponders and understands, and unties and ties (beliefs), and intends, and it is a commander of the body and leader of the body whom the limbs cannot reject nor do them implement except from its opinion and its command and its prohibition. And from these is his tongue which he speaks with, and from these are his ears which he listens with, and from these are his eyes which he sees with, and from these are his hand which he extends with, and from these are his legs which he strives with, and from these is his private part which its virility is from his heart, and from these is his head in which is his face, and there isn’t any limb from his limbs except and it is specialised with His-azwj Imposition. And He-azwj Imposed upon the heart other than what He-azwj Imposed upon the hearing, and Imposed upon the hearing other than what He-azwj Imposed upon the sight, and Imposed upon the sight other than what He-azwj Imposed upon the hands, and Imposed upon the hands other than what He-azwj Imposed upon the legs, and Imposed upon the legs other than what He-azwj Imposed upon the private part, and Imposed upon the private part other than what he-azwj Imposed upon the face, and Imposed upon the face other than what He-azwj Imposed upon the tongue. As for what He-azwj Imposed upon the heart from the Eman is the acceptance and the recognition and the believing upon it and being pleased with what has been Imposed upon it, and the submission to His-azwj Command, and (doing) the Zikr, and the thinking, and the yielding to all what has come from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in His-azwj Book, along with achieving the Rewards. He-azwj Obligated its beliefs upon it and that he should reveal like what he conceals except for the necessity, like Words of the Glorious: except for the one coerced, and his heart is content with the Eman, [16: 106]; and Words of the Exalted: Allah will not Seize you with the vanity in your oaths, but He will Seize you with what your hearts have earned, [2: 225]; And the Glorious Said: those who are saying, ‘We believe’, with their mo
