Is it correct that the one who leaves off all actions of the limbs is considered a Muslim with some of the scholars of the Sunnah and that they use as proof the narrations of the intercession?
Questioner:
"Is it correct that the one who leaves off all actions of the limbs is considered a Muslim with some of the scholars of the Sunnah and that they use as proof the narrations of the intercession of the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم)."
Answer:
"This is a grave misconception oh my brother and it is incorrect! The Religion, Faith and Islam is;
{Only those are the believers who have believed in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allah. Those! They are the truthful.} [Surah Al-Hujuraat 49:15]
And He says:
{Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth (i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al-Ma'ruf) which Allah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al-Munkar) which Allah has forbidden), and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allah's Cause during preaching His religion of Islamic Monotheism or Jihad, etc.).} [Surah Al-Asr 103:3]
Thus Allah does not mention faith except that it is coupled with action. Therefore the one who claims that he is a Muwahhid (someone who worships Allah alone and does not worship anyone besides Him) but he does not pray, fast, perform the Hajj, and commits all prohibited acts; is a person who has fooled and deceived himself. It is feared that he meets Allah upon misguidance because the narrations indicate that the prayer is a pillar from the pillars of Islam and that the one who leaves it off is leaving off the greatest pillar of Islam (after the shahaadah) which is the prayer.
He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
"The covenant between us and them is the Salah (prayer), thus whoever abandons it has disbelieved." [Related by the Five Compilers of Hadith [Imams Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhy, Al-Nasa'y and Ibn Majah] through an authentic Isnad (chain of narrators)]
And he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
"Verily, between a person and Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship) is leaving off the Salah." [Related by Muslim in his Sahih]
And Allah says:
{But if they repent, perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, then they are your brethren in religion.} [Surah At-Taubah 9:11]
Thus He made brotherhood in the religion dependent on Tawheed, establishing the Salah and giving the Zakat.
He, the Mighty and Majestic, says:
{And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat: and that is the right religion.} [Surah Al-Baiyyinah 98:5]
So therefore the one who does not pray, fast and perform the Hajj, even if he holds its obligation, and persists on that then it is feared for him that he meets Allah upon misguidance. Because La ilaha illa Allah only benefits the one who utters it when he knows its meaning and acts by what it necessitates and what it denotes with regards to submitting to Allah and yielding to His legislation and to hear and obey Him.There is no Islam for the one who does not pray, there is no Islam for the one who does not give the Zakat, there is no Islam for the one who does not fast, there is no Islam for the one who does not perform the Hajj and there is no Islam for the one who violates that which has been prohibited and leaves off the obligations.
It is therefore an evil misconception oh my brothers. There is no one from amongst the Salaf who said that. This is the speech of the misguided Murjiah, who say that it is sufficient for the individual to merely acknowledge the presence of Allah his Lord; his mere acknowledgement that Allah is his Lord is sufficient in that regard. The enemy of Allah, the Shaytaan, said to his Lord:
{My Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are resurrected.} [Surah Saad 38:79]
He knows his Lord. So if the Shaytaan, who is the greatest enemy, knows his Lord, then how about this individual who says that his mere acknowledgement of Allah being his Lord frees him from the obligations. This is a grave misconception and misguidance. La ilaha illa Allah only benefits the one who utters it when he knows its meaning, does what it necessitates and submits to what it denotes by way of adhering to the law of Allah and fulfilling that what Allah has obligated.
And as for this being a saying from Ahlus Sunnah, then no. That is not befitting for Ahlus Sunnah. All of Ahlus Sunnah are agreed that faith is speech, action and belief. And they do not hold a person to be a believer with his heart and his tongue, while not being a believer with his limbs. They don't hold him to be a believer because the limbs have to act with the obedience of Allah.
It is an evil misconception which we have to erase from our minds and not concern ourselves with it."

Answer:
"This is a grave misconception oh my brother and it is incorrect! The Religion, Faith and Islam is;
- believe of the heart,
- utterance of the tongue
- and action of the limbs.
{Only those are the believers who have believed in Allah and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and their lives for the Cause of Allah. Those! They are the truthful.} [Surah Al-Hujuraat 49:15]

يقول: هل صحيح أن من يترك جميع أعمال الجوارح يعتبر مسلما عند بعض علماء السنة ويستدلون بأحاديث شفاعة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم ؟
الشيخ عبد العزيز آل الشيخ: يا أخي هذه شبهة باطلة ، وغير صحيحة، الدين الإيمان والإسلام هو اعتقاد القلب ونطق اللسان وعمل الجوارح ، وما ذكر الله الإيمان إلا مقرونا بالعمل ، قال تعالى: (إنما المؤمنون الذين آمنوا بالله ورسوله ثم لم يرتابوا وجاهدوا بأموالهم وأنفسهم في سبيل الله أولئك هم الصادقون)) وقال: ((إلا الذين آمنوا وعلموا الصالحات وتواصوا بالحق وتواصوا بالصبر)) فما ذكر الله الإيمان إلا مقرونا بالعمل، فمن ادعى أنه موحد ولكن لا يصلي ولا يصوم ولا يحج ويرتكب المحرمات كلها، هذا إنسان مغرور في نفسه مخدوع في نفسه يخشى أن يلقى الله على غير هدى لأن الأحاديث دالة على أن الصلاة ركن من أركان الإسلام وأن تاركها تارك لأعظم أركان الإسلام وهي الصلاة، يقول صلى الله عليه وسلم: (العهد الذي بيننا وبينهم الصلاة فمن تركها فقد كفر)) ويقول: ((بين العبد والشرك ترك الصلاة )) والله يقول: ((فإن تابوا وأقاموا الصلاة وآتوا الزكاة فإخوانكم في الدين)) فجعل الأخوة في الدين مشروطة بالتوحيد وإيقام الصلاة وإيتاء الزكاة ، قال جل وعلا: ((وما أمروا إلا ليعبدوا الله مخلصين له الدين حنفاء ويقيموا الصلاة ويؤتوا الزكاة وذلك دين القيمة)) فمن لم يصل ولا يصوم ولا يحج ولو قال أنا مقر بذلك ومصر على هذا فإنه يُخشى أن يلقى الله على غير هدى لأن ((لا إله إلا الله)) تنفع قائلها إذا علم بمعناها وعمل بمقتضاها وما دلت من خضوع لله والانقياد لشرعه والسمع والطاعة له.
لا إسلام لمن لم يصل ، لا إسلام لمن لا يزكي ، لا إسلام لمن لم يصم، لا إسلام لمن لم يحج ، لا إسلام لمن انتهك المحرمات وعطل الواجبات .
فيا إخواني هذه شبهة ضالة، ليس في السلف من يقول هذا، هذا كلام المرجئة المنحرفين القائلين يكفي الإنسان مجرد المعرفة أن الله ربه موجود ، مجرد معرفته بأن الله ربه كافه ذلك، الشيطان -عدو الله- يقول لربه ((ربي فأنظرني إلى يوم يبعثون)) يعرف ربه، إذا كان الشيطان أعظم عدو يعرف ربه فكيف بهذا الإنسان يقول مجرد ما أعرف ربي يسقط عني الوجبات، هذه شبهة باطلة وضلالة ، ((لا إله إلا الله)) تنفع قائلها إذا علم بمعناها وعمل بمقتضاها وانقاد إلى ما دلت عليه ومن التزام شرع الله والقيام بما أوجب الله، أما أن هذا قول أهل السنة فلا ، حاشى أهل السنة، أهل السنة كلهم مجمعون على أن الإيمان قول وعمل واعتقاد ، ولا يعدون إنسانا مؤمنا بقلبه ولسانه غير مؤمنا بجوارحه، لا يعدونه مؤمنا ، لأن الجوارح لابد أن تعمل بطاعة الله، هي شبهة ضالة يجب أن نزيلها من أفكارنا وأن لا نتعلق بها.
