سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ الْإِسْلَامِ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ فَرْقٌ بَيْنَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ الْإِيمَانِ قَالَ فَأَضْرِبُ لَكَ مَثَلَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَوْرِدْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ مَثَلُ الْإِيمَانِ وَ الْإِسْلَامِ مَثَلُ الْكَعْبَةِ الْحَرَامِ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ قَدْ يَكُونُ فِي الْحَرَمِ وَ لَا يَكُونُ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ وَ لَا يَكُونُ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِي الْحَرَمِ وَ قَدْ يَكُونُ مُسْلِماً وَ لَا يَكُونُ مُؤْمِناً وَ لَا يَكُونُ مُؤْمِناً حَتَّى يَكُونَ مُسْلِماً قَالَ قُلْتُ فَيُخْرِجُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَيُصَيِّرُهُ إِلَى مَا ذَا قَالَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ أَوِ الْكُفْرِ وَ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ فَأَفْلَتَ مِنْهُ بَوْلُهُ أُخْرِجَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَ لَمْ يُخْرَجْ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ فَغَسَلَ ثَوْبَهُ وَ تَطَهَّرَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُمْنَعْ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْكَعْبَةَ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ فَبَالَ فِيهَا مُعَانِداً أُخْرِجَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ وَ ضُرِبَتْ عُنُقُهُ.
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at Bin Mihran who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span> and the <span class="iTxt">Islām</span>. I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Is there a difference between the <span class="iTxt">Islām</span> and the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So shall I<sup>asws</sup> strike an example for you?’ I said, ‘I want that’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘An example of the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span> and the <span class="iTxt">Islām </span>is like the Kabah and the Sanctity from the <span class="iTxt">Harrum</span>. You can happen to be in the <span class="iTxt">Harrum</span> and not happen to be in the Kabah, but you cannot happen to be in the Kabah until you happen to be in the <span class="iTxt">Harrum</span>, and you can happen to be a Muslim and not happen to be a <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>, and you cannot happen to be a <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> until you happen to be a Muslim’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘So he could exit from the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span>, somewhat?’ He<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So what is that to which he will then convert to?’ He<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘To the <span class="iTxt">Islām</span> or to the disbelief’. And he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘If a man were to enter the Kabah and his urine escapes from him, he would exit from the Kabah and would not have to exit from the <span class="iTxt">Harrum</span>. So he would wash his clothes and clean himself. Then he would not be prevented from entering the Kabah, but if a man were to enter the Kabah, so he urinates therein stubbornly (intentionally), he would be exited from the Kabah and from the <span class="iTxt">Harrum</span>, and his neck would be struck off’.
