Arabic hadith text
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقًا خَالِصًا وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا إِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ وَإِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا عَاهَدَ غَدَرَ وَإِذا خَاصم فجر»
Translation
ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAmr reported that the Prophet said, “There are four traits which, when present in a person, make that person a complete hypocrite. Whoever has one of them has a trait of hypocrisy until he gives it up: when entrusted, he betrays the trust; when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a covenant, he acts treacherously; and when he argues, he departs from the truth.”
