Al-Kāfi - The Book of Belief and Disbelief 21ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠ٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيهِ السَّلا٠) الْكَبَائِرُ تُخْرِجُ ٠َانِ فَقَالَ نَعَ٠َا دُونَ الْكَبَائِرِ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) لا يَزْنِي الزَّانِي وَهُوَ ٠ِنٌ وَلا يَسْرِقُ السَّارِقُ وَهُوَ ٠21.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn Hakim who has said the following: “I asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.) ‘Does committing a major sin remove one away from belief?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, even less than major sins do.

The Messenger of Allah has said, “A fornicator does not commit such a thing while he is a believer and a thief does not steal while he is a believer.’”” حسن على الظاهر وقد يعد ٠جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (10/44))
