Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: It is said that hypocrisy appeared after the Battle of Badr, in which the Muslims were victorious. So how did the hypocrites say, "These people have been deluded by their religion," when they saw the smallness of the party of Allah and the multitude of its enemies?
Answer:
There was hypocrisy in them from the start; they had a sickness in them, and there was hypocrisy in them before they displayed Islam. Yes.
