قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا يَزْنِي الزَّانِي حِينَ يَزْنِي وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ ، وَلَا يَسْرِقُ السَّارِقُ حِينَ يَسْرِقُ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ ، وَلَا يَنْتَهِبُ نُهْبَةً ذَاتَ شَرَفٍ يَرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ رُؤُوسَهُمْ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No fornicator, when he is engaged in the sin of fornication, is a (complete) believer at that moment; nor is any thief, at the moment he commits theft, a (complete) believer; nor does any plunderer openly plunder some valuable and great thing while people raise their eyes towards him (in amazement and longing) and remain a (complete) believer at the time of that plunder."
This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its basis, and its supporting reports are found in Sahih al-Bukhari (2475) and Sahih Muslim (57). What is meant is that at the time of committing these major sins a servant is deprived of the highest level of faith or the light of faith, though he does not leave the fold of Islam.
