Ibn Rawahah on Iman: Parable of faith is that of a garment

Ibn Hajar reported: Abdullah ibn Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “The parable of faith is that of a shirt. You may not be wearing it and then you put it on, or you may be wearing it and then you take it off.”

عن ابن حجر قال عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ رضي الله عنه مَثَلُ الْإِيمَانِ مَثَلُ قَمِيصٍ بَيْنَمَا أَنْتَ مُدْبِرٌ عَنْهُ إِذْ لَبِسْتَهُ وَبَيْنَمَا أَنْتَ قَدْ لَبِسْتَهُ إِذْ نَزَعْتَهُ
