"ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ فَهُوَ مُنافِقٌ وإِن كان فيهِ خَصْلَةٌ منها ففيه خَصْلَةٌ من النفاق حتَّى يَدَعَهَا: إِذا حدث كَذَب، وإِذا ائتمن خان، وإِذا وَعَدَ أَخْلَف".

(See Hadith No. 33 Vol. 1)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقًا أَوْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا عَاهَدَ غَدَرَ وَإِذَا خَاصَمَ فَجَرَ

And whoever has one of these characteristics, has one characteristic of a hypocrite, unless he gives it us."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعُ خِلاَلٍ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقًا خَالِصًا مَنْ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا عَاهَدَ غَدَرَ وَإِذَا خَاصَمَ فَجَرَ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا
The Prophet [SAW] said: "There are four (traits), whoever has them is a hypocrite and whoever has one of them, then has one of the traits of hypocrisy, until he gives it up: When he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; when he makes a covenant, he betrays it; and when he argues, he resorts to foul language."
عَنْ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعَةٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقًا أَوْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْ الْأَرْبَعِ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْ النِّفَاقِ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا عَاهَدَ غَدَرَ وَإِذَا خَاصَمَ فَجَرَ
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۔

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «ثَلَاثٌ إِذَا كُنَّ فِي الرَّجُلِ فَهُوَ الْمُنَافِقُ الْخَالِصُ: (١) إِنْ حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ، (٢) وَإِنْ وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ، (٣) وَإِنِ اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ۔ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ يَعْنِي فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا۔»

"أَربعٌ من كُنَّ فيه كان منافِقًا خالِصًا، ومن كانَتْ فيه خَصْلةٌ منهن كانت فيه خَصلة من النفاقِ حتَّى يَدَعَها، إذا حَدَّث كَذَبَ، وإذا وَعَد أخْلف، وإذا عاهد غَدَرَ، وإذا خاصَم فَجَر".
