Are all sins a form of minor disbelief?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are all sins considered minor disbelief?

Answer:
They are considered acts of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance... they are sins and transgressions, but they are not called disbelief except for what the Shari'ah has designated as disbelief. What the Lawgiver has named as disbelief, we name as such, such as:
Two (things) are found among men which are tantamount to unbelief: slandering one's lineage and lamentation on the dead.اثنتان في الناس هما كفر: الطعن في النسب، والنياحة على الميت
Sahih Muslim 67
, and also:
Do not return to unbelief after me by striking the necks of one another.لا ترجعوا بعدي كفارًا يضرب بعضكم رقاب بعض
Sahih Muslim 65
Judging by other than what Allah has revealed out of desire or bribery: all of these are called disbelief.
