حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِي يَعْلَی عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي الشَّعْثَائِ قَالَ قِيلَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ إِنَّا نَدْخُلُ عَلَی أُمَرَائِنَا فَنَقُولُ الْقَوْلَ فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا قُلْنَا غَيْرَهُ قَالَ کُنَّا نَعُدُّ ذَلِکَ عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النِّفَاقَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3975
It was narrated that Abu Sha`tha` said: “It was said to Ibn Umar:‘We enter upon our rulers and say one thing, when we leave them we say something else.' He said: At the time of Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H , we used to regard that as hypocrisy.'''(sahih)
