The questioner : Shaykh, the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Anfal 8:2] the verse
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This verse, O Shaykh, which gathers the characteristics of faith; now, is there anything in 'Ammar's statement that is included in the verse?
The Shaykh : Yes, and what is the problem?
The questioner : He says: "Whoever gathers these three has gathered faith". And the verse testifies to faith.
The Shaykh : Faith, sometimes refers to faith in its entirety, and sometimes refers to faith in relation to a specific matter. This is regarding dealings with people; faith in dealings with people is to complete these three: "being just to oneself, offering peace to all, and spending from one's scarcity". It is not the faith that is general for all the laws of the Shari'ah. No, yes.
