224 — Ibn Abd al-Hamīd also narrated to us, saying: Abū Hishām al-Rifāī narrated to us, saying: Wahb ibn Jarīr narrated to us, saying: My father informed us, from Fudayl ibn Yasār, who said: Abū Jafar was asked about the Prophet’s—peace and blessings be upon him—statement, “A thief does not steal while doing so and remain a believer.” He drew a circle and said, “This is Islam.” Then he drew another circle around it ⦗592⦘ and said, “And this is faith, enclosed within Islam. If a person steals or engages in unlawful sexual intercourse, he leaves faith for Islam, and nothing removes him from Islam except associating partners with Allah.”
