The Companions' Fear of Belief-Based or Practical Hypocrisy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Did the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) fear for themselves belief-based hypocrisy or practical hypocrisy?
Answer:
Practical. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When he was asked about it, he said: Riya' (showing off). So the Messenger feared for them riya', which is the lesser hypocrisy. It is the kind that comes from a believer. As for the greater hypocrisy, it is inconceivable that a believer would ever be characterized by it. The greater hypocrisy and faith never coexist. However, faith can coexist with the lesser hypocrisy. Yes.
