"ثَلَاثٌ من كُنَّ فِيه فهُو مُنافِقٌ: إَذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ، وإِذا وعد أَخْلفَ، وإِذَا ائتُمِن خَانَ (قال رجل: يا رسول اللَّه، فإِن ذَهَبَتِ اثنتانِ وَبَقِيَتْ واحِدَةٌ؟ قال): فَإِنَّ علَيهِ شُعْبَةٌ مِنْ نِفاقٍ مَا بَقِى فِيهِ مِنْهُنَّ شئٌ".

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۔
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Three ˹traits˺ that if one possesses them is a hypocrite – even if he fasts, prays, and claims to be a Muslim: one who (1) when he speaks, he lies, (2) when he promises, he breaks it, and (3) when he is entrusted, he betrays."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ فَهُوَ مُنَافِقٌ، وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مُسْلِمٌ: مَنْ (١) إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ، (٢) وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ، (٣) وَإِذَا ائْتُمِنَ خَانَ۔»
