Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Did not 'Abd Allah ibn Abi, the head of the hypocrites, display his disbelief by saying[Al-Munafiqun 63:7]? So why did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) treat him with the treatment of Muslims, even though he had displayed these actions?
Answer:
Or he displays Islam and testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and prays with the people; he is treated according to what is apparent from him. As for what is in his heart, that is left to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). We judge by the appearance; we do not judge by what is in the hearts. Even the Messenger did not judge by what is in the hearts; he judged by the appearance. Yes.

Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah until they disband
