الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْإِيمَانِ، فَقَالَ‏: شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَاإِلهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ الْإِقْرَارُ بِمَا جَاءَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ، وَ مَا اسْتَقَرَّ فِي الْقُلُوبِ مِنَ التَّصْدِيقِ بِذلِكَ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: الشَّهَادَةُ أَ لَيْسَتْ‏ عَمَلًا؟ قَالَ: «بَلى‏». قُلْتُ: الْعَمَلُ‏ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، الْإِيمَانُ لَايَكُونُ إِلَّا بِعَمَلٍ، وَ الْعَمَلُ مِنْهُ، وَ لَا يَثْبُتُ الْإِيمَانُ إِلَّا بِعَمَلٍ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

I asked Imam al-Sadiq (as) about faith. He said: It is testifying that there is no god but Allah, attesting to whatever has come from Allah and the certification which has settled in the heart. I said: Is not testimony a kind of action? He said: yes. I said: Can an action be a part of faith? He said: Yes, Faith cannot exist without action, and action stems from faith, and faith will not be rooted in the heart unless through action.

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
