SAYING THE TRUTH TO THOSE IN AUTHORITY

1663

“Some people said to me (ibn Omar), ‘When we are with those in authority we tell them something different to that which we usually say after we leave.’ Ibn Omar answered, ‘We used to consider this hypocrisy in the time of the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him.’"

Bukhari with a chain up to ibn Omar who related this.
