The Signs of the Hypocrites:
Just as there are many levels of Paradise, there are also many levels of Hell. And the abode of the hypocrites or those who befriend them will be the lowest level of Hell, where the punishment will be the most severe, even harsher than the punishment of the disbelievers, because a disbeliever does not deceive anyone regarding his religion and faith. Whereas a hypocrite keeps both disbelievers and Muslims deceived, seeking or trying to seek benefits from both. Some apparent signs of hypocrites are mentioned in the hadiths, which are as follows:
1. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah ؓ says that the Prophet ﷺ said, "There are three signs of a hypocrite: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when something is entrusted to him, he betrays the trust."
2. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas ؓ says that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever possesses four traits is a pure hypocrite, and whoever has any one of them has a trait of hypocrisy until he gives it up. (And they are:) When something is entrusted to him, he betrays the trust; when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a covenant, he acts treacherously; and when he quarrels, he behaves in an obscene manner."
