قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا أَخَا جُعْفٍ إِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ إِنَّ الْيَقِينَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَعَزَّ مِنَ الْيَقِينِ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Salim, from Ahmad Bin Al Nazar, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O brother of Jau’f! The <span class="iTxt">Emān</span> is superior than the <span class="iTxt">Islām</span>, and that ‘الْيَقِينَ’ the conviction is superior than the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span>, and there is nothing more cherished than ‘الْيَقِينَ’ the conviction’.
