Does one sin if a thought of disbelief passes through his mind and then he rejects it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a thought of disbelief passes through one's mind and then he rejects it, is he held accountable for it?

Answer:
No, fleeting thoughts and whispers do not harm a person if he does not act upon them, leaves them, and seeks refuge in Allah from them. Yes.
