باب بيان خصال المنافقChapter: Traits of the Hypocrite
Hadith 38
اُردوEn
38 صحيح حديث أَبي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: آيَةَ الْمُنافِق ثَلاثٌ: إِذا حَدَّثَ كَذَب، وَإِذا وَعَد أَخْلَفَ، وَإِذا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The signs of a hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is entrusted, he betrays the trust.
Brief Explanation
The signs of hypocrisy mentioned in these ahadith are all related to actions. That is, after becoming a Muslim, hypocrisy is manifested in one's actions. And if hypocrisy is in the heart, meaning that faith is not present at all and one is merely presenting oneself as a Muslim verbally, then that hypocrisy is certainly equal to, or even greater than, disbelief (kufr) and polytheism (shirk). It is stated in the Qur’an: "The hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire." (Secret)
