حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سُهَيْلٍ نَافِعُ بْنُ مَالِکِ بْنِ أَبِي عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَاثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ کَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 211
It is narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. 'Amr that the Prophet observed: There are four characteristics, whoever has them all is a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one of its characteristics, he has one of the characteristics of hypocrisy, until he gives it up: When he speaks he lies, when he makes a covenant he betrays it, when he makes a promise he breaks it, and when he disputes he resorts to obscene speech. In the narration of Sufyan (one of the narrators) it is: And if he has one of them, he has one of the characteristics of hypocrisy.
