Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah observed:
The fornicator who fornicates is not a believer so long as he commits it and no thief who steals is a believer as long as he commits theft, and no drunkard who drinks wine is a believer as long as he drinks it. 'Abdul-Malik b. Abi Bakr' narrated this on the authority of Abu Bakr b. Abdur-Rahman b. Harith and then said: Abu Huraira made this addition: No plunderer who plunders a valuable thing that attracts the attention of people is a believer so long as he commits this act.
Explanation
-At-Tabaree explains that Hadeeth which says "He
is not a believer" means complete Emaan. He reduces his level of Emaan
thus he reduces the level of praise he has for his Walaayah with Allaah. Ibn
'Abbas has been quoted in saying, "He loses the light of Eman"
[TN: this refutes the Mu’tazilah and the Khwarij who
claim that the statement refers to major sins eradicating Eman, the very pretense used by extremists today to kill innocent people]
Sharh Muslim 2/49-54
And Allah Knows best
