Hadith 49

Narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The adulterer does not commit adultery while being a believer, the thief does not steal while being a believer, the one drinking alcohol does not drink it while being a believer, the plunderer who takes property that causes people's attention does not do so while being a believer, and none of you betrays (in war booty) while being a believer. Beware, beware!" [Agreed upon] In a narration by Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): "Nor does a person kill while being a believer." Ikrimah said: "I asked Ibn Abbas: 'How is faith removed from him?' He said: 'Like this,' and he interlocked his fingers, then removed them. 'If he repents, faith returns to him like this,' and he interlocked his fingers again." Abu Abdullah (Imam Al-Bukhari) commented: "This means he is not a complete believer and does not have the light of faith."
