حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا خَالِي يَعْلَى , عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ , عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ , عَنْ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ , قَالَ : قِيلَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ : إِنَّا نَدْخُلُ عَلَى أُمَرَائِنَا , فَنَقُولُ الْقَوْلَ , فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا قُلْنَا غَيْرَهُ , قَالَ : " كُنَّا نَعُدُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النِّفَاقَ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Sha’tha said:` “It was said to Ibn ‘Umar: ‘We enter upon our rulers and say one thing, and when we leave we say something else.’ He said: ‘At the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), we used to regard that as hypocrisy.’”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ A Muslim’s outward appearance and inner reality should be the same.
➋ It is necessary to present the true situation before the rulers and to give correct advice. Praising a wrong action, even while knowing it is wrong, merely to please them is a great moral weakness, which harms both the ruler and the Muslim public.
➌ The hypocritical way of conduct is based on lies, deception, and flattery, and all of these are bad habits.
