It may be the saying of some of them, for they all say: are not from the faith, but as for the religion, it has been reported about some of them that he says: are not from the religion, nor do they differentiate between the name of faith and the name of religion, and among them are those who say: both are from the religion, and they differentiate between the name of faith and the name of religion. And this is the known of their sayings that they say about themselves, and I have not seen anyone among them that he said: the actions are not from the religion, but they say they are not from the faith. And similarly, Abu Ubaid reported from whom he debated among them, that Abu Ubaid and others argue that the actions are part of the religion, and mentioned his saying: "Today I have completed your religion.” [Al-Ma'ida: 3] that it was revealed during the Farewell Sermon.

I said: This that he said is the doctrine of the people, Abu Ubaid said: and this is not what was stated in the Book, didn't you hear his saying: "Indeed, the religion with Allah is Islam" [Al-Imran: 19]?
وَقَالَ:And he said:﴿وَمَنْAnd whoeverيَبْتَغِseeksغَيْرَother thanالإِسْلَامِIslam as religionدِينًاa religionفَلَنthen surely notيُقْبَلَwill it be acceptedمِنْهُ﴾from him” [Al-Imran: 85].وَقَالَ:And he said:وَرَضِيتُand I am pleasedلَكُمُfor you.الإِسْلَامَIslamدِينًا﴾as a religion.[المَائِدَةِ:[Al-Ma'idah:٣]3]فَأَخْبَرَSo it informedأَنَّthatالإِسْلَامَIslamهُوَisالدِّينُthe religionبِرُمَّتِهِ،in its entirety,وَزَعَمَand they claimedهَـٰؤُلَاءِtheseأَنَّهُthat itثُلُثٌis one-thirdالدِّينِ.of the religion.
And he said: "And whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion will never be accepted from him” [Al-Imran: 85]. And he said: "And I am pleased for you Islam as a religion.” [Al-Ma'idah: 3] So it informed that Islam is the complete religion, and they claimed that it is one-third of the religion.
قُلتُ:I said:إِنَّمَاthey only said:قَالُوا:they said:إِنَّthatالإِيمَانَ،faith,ثُلُثٌ،is one-third,وَلَمْand they did notيَقُولُواsayإِنَّthatالإِيمَانَfaithثُلُثٌis one-thirdمِنَof the religion,لَكِنَّهُمْbut theyفَرَّقُواdifferentiatedبَيْنَbetweenمُسَمَّىthe namedالإِيمَانِfaithوَمُسَمَّىand what is termedالدِّينِthe religionوَسَنَذْكُرُand we will mentionإِنْifشَاءَGod willsاللَّهُAllahتَعَالَىٰthe Most Highهَذَا.this.
I said: They only said: they said: that faith is one-third and they did not say that faith is one-third of the religion, but they differentiated between the term of faith and the term of religion and we will mention, God willing, this.

And Al-Shafi'i may Allah be pleased with him, was someone who had great respect for 'Ata bin Abu Rabbah, and he said: there is none among the followers more devoted to the hadith than him, and likewise Abu Hanifa said: I did not see the likes of 'Ata.
