ʿAbdullāh said: "There are three ˹traits˺, whoever has them is a hypocrite: (1) When he speaks, he lies; (2) when he is entrusted ˹with something˺, he betrays ˹that trust˺, (3) when he makes a promise, he breaks it. Whoever has one of these ˹traits˺ then a trait of hypocrisy has not ceased in him, until he leaves it."

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ فَهُوَ مُنَافِقٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ فَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ لَمْ تَزَلْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْ النِّفَاقِ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهَا۔
