Abu Dawood
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ وَقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ ‏{‏ قُلْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا ‏}‏ قَالَ نَرَى أَنَّ الإِسْلاَمَ الْكَلِمَةُ وَالإِيمَانَ الْعَمَلُ ‏.‏
Explaining the verse, "say ; You have no faith, but you only say :
We have submitted our wills to Allah" , Al-Zuhri said : We think that ISLAM is a word, and faith is an action.
