The ruling on the one who says there is no disbelief except by the belief of the heart

Question:
And this person asks: What is the ruling on the one who says there is no disbelief except by existence and belief, so there is no practical disbelief at all unless it is conditioned by disbelief in the inner self?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) declared disbelievers those who spoke. That was their disbelief by their speech and their saying. He did not say that they believed this or that they did not believe; He declared them disbelievers merely by what they spoke and what they said. This indicates that the one who speaks words of disbelief is a disbeliever; the ruling of disbelief is applied to him. As for hearts, we do not know what is in them; that is with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). However, his speech with the words of disbelief indicates the corruption of his heart; it indicates the corruption of his heart. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) also says: They spoke the word of disbelief. He called the speech "disbelievers" and did not say they believed in their matters; rather, they spoke the word of disbelief and disbelieved after their Islam. And He says (Glorified and Exalted is He): by Allah, except the one who is coerced and whose heart is firm in faith. So the one who does not disbelieve by disbelief is not a disbeliever unless he is coerced. Unless he is coerced. The reason for the revelation of the verse is the story of 'Ammar ibn Yasir. When the polytheists took him and tortured him, they did not let him go until he spoke against the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So he agreed with them with his tongue only. And they released him. So he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned the story to him. He said: How do you find your heart? He said: Firm. So Allah revealed to him: But your heart was firm in faith. As for the one who speaks a word of disbelief without being coerced, who speaks it by his choice without being coerced, what does the one who says he does not disbelieve say? The Qur'an says he disbelieves. And it is not our concern; what do people say? It is not our concern. The Qur'an says he disbelieves. And indeed, they spoke the word of disbelief, so they were harmed. What is not obligatory? By Allah and His verses and His Messenger, you said. So mere mockery makes them disbelievers, even if they were mocking. By Allah and His verses and His Messenger, you were among the mockers. Did you disbelieve? And this is your faith. Now, if you see a person barking at a grave, do you tell him this is not disbelief? Meaning, the heart must pray? If you see a person rushing to the grave, do you say this is not disbelief? Meaning, the heart must pray? This is the speech. Except for a ignorant or an oppressor. The one who does disbelief disbelieves, and the one who walks with disbelief disbelieves, and the one who acts with disbelief disbelieves. And the scholars mentioned that apostasy occurs through matters, either by speech, or by belief, or by doubt in the heart. And they mentioned many types of nullifiers of Islam. The Shaykh of Islam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab mentioned ten nullifiers, ten nullifiers of Islam. If it were that apostasy only occurs by the heart, if these nullifiers were numerous, and they are verbal, practical, and belief-related.
