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)
"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".
