Are the hypocrites known in the era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : No. Yes, we say that the original state regarding them is integrity and the absence of hypocrisy, and the hypocrites are also known. Allah the Exalted said: [Muhammad 47:30] And if some of them conceal it completely and it is not known about them, but Allah will surely make their state clear. Yes?
The questioner : Shaykh. One of the principles of the people of the Sunnah and the community is the soundness of their tongues and their hearts. The reason for not mentioning actions is that there is no action that harms the Companions after them.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : We previously mentioned in the last lesson
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : that 'Umar threatened one of the Companions by stoning his grave, and this involves harm.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : What is the point of that?
The Shaykh : No, stoning his grave is not what causes harm, but he is disgraced, he is disgraced by it, whereas he himself is not harmed.
The questioner : It means it is not of the kind of action that ... .
The Shaykh : It does not harm, no, no, because it harms his reputation.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And his honor.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, because it speaks ill of them. For example, when I say so-and-so is a tyrant, so-and-so is unjust, so-and-so has such-and-such, I have spoken ill of him, because this praise itself is evil. Yes.
And if We willed, We could show them to you, and you would know them by their mark; but you will surely know them by the tone of [their] speech
