Question:
If the Messenger (peace be upon him) had not revealed the names of the hypocrites, would not the hadiths of the Messenger (peace be upon him) regarding lying have caused confusion for the Companions?
Answer:
In any case, they are known by their characteristics and morals, and by their presence, but there were many among them whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not name; they are only known by their characteristics, some of them and some of them.
