Kufr can occur MERELY through WORDS uttered by the TONGUE or outward physical ACTIONS irrespective of what is in the HEART Just as faith takes the form of actions of the heart, statements of the tongue, and outward physical actions, so too can Kufr. “Kufr (disbelief) and Riddah (apostasy) occur by committing one of the Nawakidhul-Islam (nullifiers of Islam), so whosoever commits a Nawakidh from Nawakidhul-Islam that are known to the people of knowledge; he, because of it, will be committing apostasy. And we declare the ruling based upon his statements or actions. We do so because we cannot judge except with what is apparent, for, matters of the heart are known to Allah Alone. - 23 -
So, whosoever utters a statement of Kufr or commits an act of Kufr, we declare our ruling in accordance with his statements and actions.” [As'ilah wa-Ajwiba fi Masaa'il al-Eeman wal-Kufr by Shaikh Salih al- Fawzan] Allah and His Messenger ruled Kufr for people because of their sayings and actions, even without their believing in them, like those who mock anything that Allah has mentioned, or joke about the Qur’aan or the Messenger.

Long distances had to be traveled and the enemies were huge in number. Moreover, the Muslims were facing great difficulties since they did not have enough funds to prepare for the battle, which is why those who stepped ahead at the command of Allah’s Messenger , despite all odds, were called, ‘The Army of hardships,’ and this phase was called, ‘The phase of difficulties.’ It was a Command of Allah and a test at the last stages of the life of - 24 -
