SIGNS OF HIPOCRISY
CHARACTERISTICS OF HYPOCRISY
|H 200
“A hypocrite has three distinctive characteristics: when he talks he
lies, when he makes a promise he breaks it, and when something is
entrusted to him he embezzles it. Even if he prays, fasts and
considers himself a Muslim.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, said this.
FOUR SIGNS OF HYPOCRISY
|H 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.
DEFINTION OF A COMPLETE HYPOCRITE
|H 1626
“There are four characteristics of hypocrisy. If all four are found in a
person he is a complete hypocrite, but if one of them is found in him
he has the characteristic of a hypocrite until he abandons it: If he is
entrusted, he betrays. If he speaks, he lies. If he promises, he

2. breaks it. If he deserts, he becomes untruthful.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abdullah, the son of Amru, son of Al As who
related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
THE CONDITION OF THE HYPOCRITE
|H 199
“On the Day of Judgement there will be a man brought and thrown
into the Fire. His intestines will burst forth from his belly and he will
clutch them going round in circles like a donkey treads a mill.
The Companions of the Fire will gather round him and say: ‘What is
this? Didn't you encourage good and forbid evil?’ He will say: ‘That
is so, I encouraged good, but did not do it; and I forbade evil but did
it.’”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Osama son of Zaid who related that he
heard the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, say this.
THE RECITATION OF THE HYPOCRITE
|H 1008
“The likeness of a Muslim who recites the Koran is that of citrus
which is aromatic and delicious; and the likeness of a believer who
does not recite the Koran is that of a date which has no aroma but is
sweet.
The likeness of a hypocrite who recites the Koran is that of a
fragrant plant but is bitter to the taste; and the likeness of a
hypocrite who does not recite the Koran is like that of a colocynth
that has no aroma and tastes bitter.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Musa Ash'ari who related this.
HYPOCRITES AND THE DAWN AND NIGHT PRAYER
|H 1090
“Hypocrites find no prayer so burdensome as the dawn and the
night prayers and yet if they knew their benefits they would come to
them even if they had to crawl.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the
Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
ABANDONING THE PRAYER
|H 1096
“The treaty between us and them (the hypocrites) is prayer.
Whosoever abandons it is an unbeliever.”
Tirmidhi with a chain up to Buraidah who related that the Messenger of Allah,
praise and peace be upon him, said this.
ONE OF THE SIGNS OF HYPOCRISY
|H 1369
“Whosoever dies without having fought in the Way of Allah and
2

3. without any wish to do so dies with one of the characteristics of
hypocrisy.”
Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah,
praise and peace be upon him, said this.
EXAMPLE OF A HYPOCRITE
|H 397
“Each one of you; his creation is determined when he is in his
mother's womb, forty days as a drop, then it becomes a clot for the
same (forty days) then it becomes a chewed (piece of flesh) for the
same (forty days), then the angel is sent who breathes into it the
soul then he is ordered with four words: His provision, his life span,
his deeds, and whether he is unfortunate or happy. Then by He who
there is no god except Him, one of you (example of the hypocrite)
behaves like a dweller of Paradise until there is left between him
and it the distance of only the length of an arm and then that which
is recorded overtakes him and he begins to behave like the
inhabitants of the Fire and eventually enters it. Then there is the one
amongst you (who is not a hypocrite) who behaves like the
inhabitants of the Fire until there is only left between him and it the
length of an arm; then what is recorded overtakes him and he
begins to behave like the dwellers of Paradise and eventually enters
it.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to ibn Mas'ud who related that the Messenger
of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, the confirmed, the truthful, told us this.
REVEALING OF A HYPOCRITE
|H 1573
“I (Zaid, the son of Arqam) said, ‘We went on an expedition with the
Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, which was hard
on the people. During it Abdullah, the son of Ubayy said, ‘Do not
spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah, praise and
peace be upon him, in case they disperse.’ He also said, ‘If we
return to Medina, the most honorable one will drive out the one who
is the most mean.’ I went to the Messenger of Allah, praise and
peace be upon him, and informed him of this and he sent for
Abdullah son of Ubayy, who denied on oath having said it. The
people began to say, ‘Zaid has lied to the Prophet, praise and peace
be upon him.’ I was very upset by this until sura Al-Munafiqun
(Chapter 63, The Hypocrites) was sent down. Then the Messenger
of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, sent for the hypocrites so
that he might ask forgiveness for them but they turned their heads
away out of arrogance.’"
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Zaid the son of Arqam who related this.
HYPOCRITES BEFORE ALLAH
|H 1664
“Whosoever does something good in order to seek a reputation,
Allah, the Most High exposes his sins and whosoever does
3

4. something in order to show off, Allah the Most High will treat him as
a hypocrite.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Jundab the son of Abdullah, the son of
Sufyan who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him,
said this.
LOVE OF THE ANSAR
|H 381
“Only a believer loves the Ansar and it is only a hypocrite who
dislikes them. Allah loves those who love them and Allah dislikes
those who dislike them.”
Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Bra'a, the son of 'Azib who related that the
Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
THE PROPHET AND THE PERSON ACCUSED OF HYPOCRISY
|H 418
“It was my (Itban, the son of Malik ) practice to join my tribe, the
Bani Salim in prayer, however, between them was a valley prone to
floods, which, once flooded became difficult for me to make the
crossing to the Mosque. So I went to the Messenger of Allah, praise
and peace be upon him, and said: ‘My eyesight is poor and I find it
difficult to cross over the valley that separates me from my tribe
when it is flooded. I would like it very much if you would come to my
house and pray inside it so that I may assign that part as my place
of prayer.’ The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him,
agreed. The next day, when the sun had risen high the Messenger
of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, came to my house with Abu
Bakr and asked permission to enter, which I gave. He asked me:
‘Where do you wish me to pray?’ So I pointed out the place to him.
He stood for prayer and commenced with Allah is Great (the Takbir)
and we lined up behind him. He prayed two units (rak'a) of prayer
and we prayed behind him. After he had finished the prayer, I
offered him some food prepared from sugar, milk and finely ground
flour. When my neighbors heard that the Messenger of Allah, praise
and peace be upon him, was in my house they gathered there in
large numbers.
Someone asked: ‘What has happened to Malik, the son of
Dakhsahm?’ Another said: ‘He is not here.’ Then another said: ‘He
is a hypocrite. He does not love Allah and His Messenger, praise
and peace be upon him.’ Upon hearing this, the Messenger of
Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said: ‘Do not say that, don't
you know that he has said: There is no god except Allah seeking
only the pleasure of Allah?’ The man said: ‘Allah and His
Messenger, praise and peace be upon him, know best, but as for us
we see that his friendship and conversation are confined to the
hypocrites.’ The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him,
said: ‘Allah will protect whosoever bears witness that there is no god
except Allah, seeking with it only the pleasure of Allah, from the
Fire.’”

will be cast out."
