Sunan an-Nasai 4993 (Book 47, Hadith 9) #19525
The Necessity of Practicing Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that it is not enough to just believe, but one must also be a Muslim and practice the teachings of Islam.

It was narrated from Sa'd that : The Messenger of Allah SAW distributed (some spoils of war) and gave to some people but withheld from others. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, you gave to so-and-so and so-and-so, and you withheld from so-and-so, who is a believer ". He said: "Do not say 'a believer,' say 'a Muslim'." Ibn Shihab (one of the narrators) said: The Bedouins say: "We believe".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلاَّمُ بْنُ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَعْمَرًا، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَسَمَ قَسْمًا فَأَعْطَى نَاسًا وَمَنَعَ آخَرِينَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطَيْتَ فُلاَنًا وَمَنَعْتَ فُلاَنًا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَقُلْ مُؤْمِنٌ وَقُلْ مُسْلِمٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ ‏{‏ قَالَتِ الأَعْرَابُ آمَنَّا
