The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “There are four traits; whoever has them is a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one of them has a trait of hypocrisy until he gives it up: (1) when he speaks, he lies; (2) when he makes a covenant, he betrays it; (3) when he makes a promise, he breaks it; (4) when he argues, he becomes obscene.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقًا خَالِصًا، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَلَّةٌ مِنْهُنَّ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَلَّةٌ مِنْ نِفَاقٍ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا: (١) إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ، (٢) وَإِذَا عَاهَدَ غَدَرَ، (٣) وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ، (٤) وَإِذَا خَاصَمَ فَجَرَ».

Three are the signs of a hypocrite: when he spoke he told a lie, when he made a promise he acted treacherously against it, when he was trusted he betrayed.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلاَثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا ائْتُمِنَ خَانَ

There are three characteristics of a hypocrite: when he spoke he told a lie, when he made promise he acted treacherously, and when he was trusted he betrayed.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عَلاَمَاتِ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلاَثَةٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا ائْتُمِنَ خَانَ

Three are the signs of a hypocrite, even if he observed fast and prayed and asserted that he was a Muslim.

وَقَالَ آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلاَثٌ وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مُسْلِمٌ

even if he observed fast and prayed and asserted that he was a Muslim.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ ذَكَرَ فِيهِ وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مُسْلِمٌ
