Hadith 2799
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ الرُّكَيْنِ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ، قَالَ شَرِيكٌ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ: النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ، عَنْ عَمَّارٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: "مَنْ كَانَ ذَا وَجْهَيْنِ فِي الدُّنْيَا، كَانَ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِسَانَانِ مِنْ نَارٍ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has two faces (is two-faced) in this world, on the Day of Resurrection he will have two tongues of fire."
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2798)
By "dhul-wajhain" is meant a two-faced, deceitful person who approaches some people with one face and others with another, as is mentioned in [بخاري 6058] and [مسلم 2526]. That is, such a person who always speaks with ambiguity and flattery, tailoring his words to please whoever he is with, without regard for truth or falsehood. In the hadith, such a person is called "sharr an-naas"—the worst of people, a very evil person. In this hadith, his punishment and penalty are described as follows: on the Day of Resurrection, he will have two tongues, by which he will be recognized as a hypocrite and a deceitful person, and this is a great humiliation.
May Allah Ta'ala grant us the ability to understand the truth, to speak the truth, and protect us from two-facedness.
Ameen.
