Bayhaqi 20087 — Fulfilling vows
قَالَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ فِي مَدْحِ قَوْمٍ {يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا كَانَ شَرُّهُ مُسْتَطِيرًا} [الإنسان: 7]، وَقَالَ فِي ذَمِّ آخَرِينَ {وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ عَاهَدَ اللهَ لَئِنْ آتَانَا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ فَلَمَّا آتَاهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ بَخِلُوا بِهِ وَتَوَلَّوْا وَهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ بِمَا أَخْلَفُوا اللهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ} [التوبة: 76].
Allah, exalted be His praise, said in praise of a people: "They fulfil their vows and fear a Day whose evil will be widespread." [Surah al-Insan: 7]
And He said in condemnation of others: "And among them are those who made a covenant with Allah: 'If He gives us of His bounty, we will surely give charity and surely be among the righteous.' But when He gave them of His bounty, they were stingy with it and turned away, and they are averse. So He put hypocrisy into their hearts as a consequence, until the Day they will meet Him, because they broke the promise they had made to Allah and because they used to lie." [Surah al-Tawbah: 75-77]

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْمَحْبُوبِيُّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ح، وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ الْعَامِرِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقًا خَالِصًا، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْ نِفَاقٍ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا: إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ، وَإِذَا عَاهَدَ غَدَرَ، وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ، وَإِذَا خَاصَمَ فَجَرَ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَخْرَجَاهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has four things in him is a pure hypocrite. Whoever has one of the four has one trait of hypocrisy until he abandons it: (1) when he speaks, he lies; (2) he breaks his promise; (3) when he disputes, he resorts to abuse; (4) he breaks his covenant."
