FOUR SIGNS OF HYPOCRISY

696

“There are four qualities which, if they are found in a person, prove him to be a real hypocrite. If a person has one of them, he has that quality of hypocrisy until he rids himself of it. They are: When he is entrusted with something he embezzles. When he speaks he lies. When he promises he breaks his promise. When he quarrels he is abusive.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abdullah, the son of Amr son of Al 'As who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
