Conduct of Hypocrisy in Islam

Mu'adh ibn Jabal related that Prophet Muhammad  (peace be upon him) said:
         "In the last days, there will be people who are brothers in public but enemies in secret."
He was asked how this would happen, and he applied:
         "Because they will have ulterior motives in their dealings with each other and at the same will 
         fear another." (Ahmad)


'Abdullah ibn 'Amr related Prophet Muhammad  (peace be upon him) said:
         "There are 4 things which, if present in a person, show him to be a complete hypocrite, if someone has one of them he has one part of hypocrisy until he gets rid of it. These are: When he is entrusted with something, he cheats; when he talks, he lies; when he makes promises, he breaks them; and when he argues, he insults." (Bukhari, Muslim)

Ammar Ibn Yasir reported that Prophet Muhammad  (peace be upon him) said:
         "Whoever is double faced in this world, and talks to different persons in differing tones, will 
         have two tongues of fire in his mouth on the Day of Judgement." (Abu Daw'ud)

'Umar ibn Khattab related that Prophet Muhammad  (peace be upon him) said:
         "What I fear for my people is every hypocrite who talks wisely and acts unjustly." (Baihaqi)

Abu Hurairah reported that Prophet Muhammad  (peace be upon him) said:
         "The worst person on the Day of Judgement will be the one who has a double face. He goes 
         to one with one face and to the other with another face." (Bukhari, Muslim)
