The sign of the hypocrite
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقًا خَالِصًا، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا إِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ وَإِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا عَاهَدَ غَدَرَ، وَإِذَا خَاصَمَ فَجَرَ ".

حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو،
Translation
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Four (traits): whoever has them is a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one trait of them has a trait of hypocrisy until he abandons it: when he is entrusted with something, he betrays the trust; when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a covenant, he treacherously breaks it; and when he disputes, he transgresses all bounds.”

Abdullah ibn Amr berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „Vier (Eigenschaften) – wer sie hat, ist ein reiner Heuchler; und wer eine Eigenschaft davon hat, in dem ist eine Eigenschaft der Heuchelei, bis er sie ablegt: Wenn ihm etwas anvertraut wird, veruntreut er es; wenn er spricht, lügt er; wenn er einen Vertrag schließt, bricht er ihn treulos; und wenn er streitet, überschreitet er alle Grenzen.“

Abdullah b. Amr (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Dört (haslet) vardır ki kimde bulunursa o halis bir münafıktır. Kimde de bunlardan bir haslet bulunursa, onu bırakıncaya kadar kendisinde nifaktan bir haslet vardır: Kendisine bir şey emanet edildiğinde hıyanet eder, konuştuğunda yalan söyler, ahitleştiğinde ahdini bozar, tartıştığında haddi aşar.”
