Continuation of the Explanation of the Hadith: Chapter: The Sign of the Hypocrite
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says, "Chapter: The Sign of the Hypocrite." We have previously mentioned that hypocrisy is a new concept introduced by Islam, and we have previously explained its derivation. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified in this hadith that the sign of the hypocrite is threefold, namely: Sunan an-Nasa'i 5021Sahih (Darussalam).
And in the second hadith:Sahih al-Bukhari 34, it shares two characteristics with the first hadith: Sahih al-Bukhari 2682.
It is possible to include his saying: , because a promise is a type of covenant. This is a new concept.
These signs are signs of practical hypocrisy, not doctrinal hypocrisy, but they appear in those who are doctrinally hypocrites. So the one who is doctrinally hypocrite, may Allah protect us from that, you find it manifest in his apparent practical deeds; the effect of hypocrisy appears on him through these four characteristics.
, and this includes every trust, whether he is trusted with wealth, or with honor, or with secret speech, or with looking after his young children, or otherwise.
The second:, and lying is reporting what contradicts reality, so you find among his apparent characteristics...
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : ... if he speaks, he lies; you find he always lies in speech, whenever he speaks he lies, and lying, as we said, is reporting the opposite of reality.
, if he makes a covenant with another, he betrays him. This includes making a covenant with non-Muslims, for betraying them is forbidden except if they break the covenant. And if the breaking of the covenant is feared, it has been previously stated that they are to be treated with a middle course; one announces to them on equal terms and says: there is no covenant between us.
, if he disputes with another in a right of the rights, he acts treacherously. Treachery means deception, denying what is obligatory upon him, or claiming what is not his. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed: Bulugh al-Maram 1426.
The purpose of this, that is, the mention of the signs, is warning, and that this practical hypocrisy may lead to doctrinal hypocrisy. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
When he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise he breaks it; and when he is entrusted with something, he betrays (that trust).
إذا حدث كذب ، وإذا وعد أخلف ، وإذا أؤتمن خانAnd in the second hadith:
Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up. 1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays. 2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. 3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous. 4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner.
أربع من كن فيه كان فيه منافقا خالصا ومن كانت فيه خصلة منهن كانت فيه خصلة من النفاق حتى يدعها : إذا اؤتمن خان ، وإذا حدث كذب ، وإذا عاهد غدر ، وإذا خاصم فجر(1) whenever he speaks, he tells a lie, (2) whenever he is entrusted, he proves to be dishonest
إذا حدث كذب وإذا اؤتمن خانand when he promises, he breaks his promise
وإذا وعد أخلفIf he makes a covenant, he betrays
إذا عاهد غدرAnd when he litigates, he commits injustice
وإذا خاصم فجرThese signs are signs of practical hypocrisy, not doctrinal hypocrisy, but they appear in those who are doctrinally hypocrites. So the one who is doctrinally hypocrite, may Allah protect us from that, you find it manifest in his apparent practical deeds; the effect of hypocrisy appears on him through these four characteristics.
If he is trusted, he betrays
إذا أؤتمن خانThe second:
If he speaks, he lies
إذا حدث كذبThe questioner : ...
The Shaykh : ... if he speaks, he lies; you find he always lies in speech, whenever he speaks he lies, and lying, as we said, is reporting the opposite of reality.
And if he makes a covenant, he betrays
وإذا عاهد غدرAnd when he litigates, he commits injustice
وإذا خاصم فجرIf anyone swears a firm oath - knowingly, intentionally, taking by it property belonging to a Muslim, Allah will be angry with him when he meets Him (on the Day of Resurrection).
أن من حلف على يمين كاذبة يقتطع بها مال امرء مسلم لقي الله وهو علي غضبانThe purpose of this, that is, the mention of the signs, is warning, and that this practical hypocrisy may lead to doctrinal hypocrisy. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
