'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As (May Allah be pleased with
them) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Whosoever possesses these
four characteristics is a sheer hypocrite; and anyone who possesses one of them
possesses a characteristic of hypocrisy till he gives it up. These are: when he
is entrusted with something, he proves dishonest; when he speaks, he tells a
lie; when he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous; and when he quarrels, he
behaves in very imprudent, evil, insulting manner."
Commentary
The hadith mentions four characteristics that if a person possesses is a sheer hypocrite and if he possesses any one of them then he will be regarded as a sort of hypocrite. It is required for a Muslim to abstain from showing evidence of such attributes in their characters. Excellence of character is engrossed with Faith. The nobility of character is perpetually reflected in Faith, and where there is no Faith there will be little to none distinction of character.The characteristics of a hypocrite are:
- Dishonesty
- Lying
- Treacherory
- Imprudent behaviour
