Question:
Are there any hypocrites or innovators among the people of al-A'raf?

Answer:
My brother, do not ask me about something I do not know. I do not know about it. I do not know about al-A'raf. Allah mentioned them in His saying:
on [its] elevations are menوَعَلَى الْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ
[Al-A'raf 7:46]
. As for al-A'raf, they said it is a mountain between Paradise and the Fire. There are people upon it whose good deeds and bad deeds are equal. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
They have not [yet] entered it, but they long intensely.لَمْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُونَ
[Al-A'raf 7:46]
. They hope to enter it. To enter Paradise. By the mercy of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), yes.
