Is the committed person who, when he meets the uncommitted, talks with them about things that are not good, a hypocrite?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a young man who walks with the committed youth. When I come to them, I talk with them about certain matters. But when I am with the uncommitted youth, I talk with them about matters that I do not discuss with the committed ones. I love the committed, but when I am with the uncommitted youth, I talk with them about things that are not good. Am I a hypocrite for doing this?

Answer:
You are among those about whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “The worst of people are those who have two faces: one face with these people and another face with those people.” So fear Allah, and do not be with the uncommitted. Stick to the committed, be upright with the committed, and beware of the evil of the other group. We ask Allah for your praise.
