The answer

Malik's (school of thought) in this matter is strong, and it has been chosen by verifiers like Ibn Taymiyyah.

The thoughts that occurred to you bear no sin, do not necessitate uttering the two declarations of faith (Shahadatayn) or performing , and they have not expelled you from Islam. Beware of whisperings in this regard, and you must strive against them no matter how numerous and frequent they become, for this is their only cure.
