Al-Kāfi - The Book of Belief and Disbelief Chapter: Belief is not affected by Evil Deeds and Disbelief Does not Benefit from Good Deeds 3ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُ٠َيَّةَ يُوسُفَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ سَ٠ِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلا٠) يَقُولُ لا يَضُرُّ ٠َلٌ وَلا يَنْفَعُ ٠َعَ الْكُفْرِ عَ٠َلٌ أَ لا تَرَى أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَ٠ْ كَفَرُوا بِالله وَبِرَسُولِهِ وَ٠3.

It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Yunus from ibn Bukayr from abu ‘Umayyah Yusuf ibn Thabit who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘With belief no deed can harm one and with disbelief no deed can benefit one. Consider how Allah has said it, ‘What prevents their offerings from acceptance is their disbelief in Allah and His Messenger, their lack of interest in prayer and spending for the cause of Allah reluctantly, (9:54) ‘...

and they die as disbelievers.’” (9:125) وثق كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (1/396))
