حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
اللَّيْثُ بِهَذَا ، وَقَالَتْ : دَخَلَ عَلَيّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَقَالَ : " يَا
عَائِشَةُ مَا أَظُنُّ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا يَعْرِفَانِ دِينَنَا الَّذِي نَحْنُ عَلَيْهِ " .
Narrated Al-Laith: `Aisha said "The Prophet entered upon me one day and said, 'O `Aisha! I do not think that so-and-so and so-and-so know anything of our religion which we follow."'

Hadith Commentary:
In the Prophetic era, there was a very dangerous group of hypocrites who outwardly professed Islam but inwardly always wished harm upon the Muslims. Such wretched individuals have always caused great harm to Islam. Even today, there are many such people—except those whom Allah wills.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, upon observing the character and conduct of these two men, said:
“In my estimation, they do not possess any knowledge regarding our religion, Islam.”
(2)
It should be noted that this kind of suspicion does not fall under the category of sinful or unlawful suspicion, because sometimes when we do not observe a good deed from someone, a kind of suspicion arises regarding them. For example:
If someone is not present for the ‘Isha and Fajr prayers, we become suspicious about them, thinking that perhaps they are ill or weak in their religion.
(Fath al-Bari: 10/596)
The basis for such suspicion can also be that well-known hadith in which the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
“‘Isha and Fajr prayers are very burdensome upon the hypocrites.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Adhan, Hadith: 657)
