And it was narrated in some of its paths: faith in God and the testimony that there is no god except God, but the first is more well-known. And in the narration of Abu Said: 'I command you with four things, and I prohibit you from four: worship God and do not associate anything with Him.' This has been explained in the hadith of the branches of faith.

It has been firmly established from multiple sources that he said: 'Modesty is a branch of faith (2)', from the hadith of Ibn Umar, Ibn Mas'ud, and Imran bin Husayn. And he said: 'None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself (4).' He also said: 'By God, none of you truly believes, none of you truly believes, none of you truly believes.' It was said: 'Who, O Messenger of God?' He replied: 'The one who does not feel secure from his neighbor's harm (5). He also said: (Whoever sees something wrong should change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; and if he cannot, then with his heart; and that is the weakest of faith (6).' And he said: 'God did not send any Prophet except that there was in his nation a group who are guided by his guidance and follow his Sunnah; then he leaves behind a generation that says what they do not do and does what they are not commanded to do. So whoever fights them with his hand is a believer, and whoever fights them with his tongue is a believer, and whoever fights them with his heart is a believer, and there is nothing beyond that from faith, not even the weight of a mustard seed. This is something from the individuals of Muslim.

And likewise in the individuals of Muslim is the saying: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Or shall I guide you to a thing, if you do it, you will love one another?' (1).
