What is the difference between the hypocrites of the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the hypocrites of this age?
The difference: The hypocrites in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were hypocrites in his time, and the hypocrites in this age are hypocrites in this age. The times are different, without a doubt, but hypocrisy does not differ. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy in the era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and in our era. So, anyone who believes outwardly and shows people his faith, but whose heart, may Allah protect us from that, is filled with disbelief, is a hypocrite. Then, if he has authority among his people and calls to hypocrisy, he becomes like Abdullah ibn Abi ibn Salul, may Allah grant us well-being.
