suyuti:2875a

Four characteristics constitute anyone who possesses them a sheer hypocrite, and anyone who possesses one of them possesses a characteristics of hypocrisy till he abandons it : when he talks he lies, when he makes a promise he violates it, when he makes a covenant he acts treacherously, and when he quarrels, he deviates from the Truth. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4688)   

السيوطي:٢٨٧٥a

"أربع مَنْ كُنَّ فيه كان منافِقًا خالصًا، ومن كانَتْ فيه خَصلةُ منهنَّ كانت فيه خصلةُ من النفاقِ حتَّى يَدعَها: إذا اؤتُمِنَ خان، وإذا حدَّث كذب، وإذا عَاهدَ غدر، وإذا خَاصَم فَجَر".
