Nawawi Hadith 21: Say, ‘I have faith in Allah,’ and remain steadfast


الحَمْدُ لِلهِ وَالصَّلاَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ عَلَى رَسُوْلِ اللهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَمَنْ وَالَاهُ وَبَعْدُ

Hadith 21: Say, ‘I have faith in Allah,’ and remain steadfast قل آمنت بالله ثم استقم

EnglishArabic
On the authority of Abu `Amr — and he is also called Abu `Amrah — Sufyan bin Abdullah ath- Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

I said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell me something about al-Islam which I can ask of no one but you.” He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Say I believe in Allah — and then be steadfast.” 

[Muslim]
عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو وَقِيلَ: أَبِي عَمْرَةَ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: “قُلْت: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! قُلْ لِي فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قَوْلًا لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ أَحَدًا غَيْرَك؛ قَالَ: قُلْ: آمَنْت بِاَللَّهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ” . [رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ].

Notes

We should regularly renew our faith by saying this and asking Allah ta’ala to renew our faith and grant us istiqama, which is the greatest of karamat (honorary miracles given to non-prophets).
