حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ ثنا مِهْرَانُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِي النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْوَقَّاصِ حَدَّثَنِي سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ قَالَ
دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ ؓ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ خِلَالِ الْمُنَافِقِ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا ائْتُمِنَ خَانَ فَخَرَجَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُمَا ثَقِيلَانِ فَلَقِيتُهُمَا فَقُلْتُ مَا لِي أَرَاكُمَا ثَقِيلَيْنِ؟ قَالَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مِنْ خِلَالِ الْمُنَافِقِ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا ائْتُمِنَ خَانَ قَالَ أَفَلَا سَأَلْتُمَاهُ؟ قَالَ هِبْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لَكِنِّي سَأَسْأَلُهُ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَهُمَا ثَقِيلَانِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ مَا قَالَا فَقَالَ «قَدْ حَدَّثْتُهُمَا وَلَمْ أَضَعْهُ عَلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَضَعَانِهِ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقَ إِذَا حَدَّثَ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ نَفْسَهُ أَنَّهُ يَكْذِبُ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ نَفْسَهُ أَنَّهُ يُخْلِفُ وَإِذَا ائْتُمِنَ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ نَفْسَهُ أَنَّهُ يَخُونُ»

✧ Abu Bakr and ʿUmar ؓ entered upon the Messenger of God ﷺ, and the Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Among the traits of a hypocrite are: when he speaks he lies, when he promises he breaks it, and when he is entrusted he betrays.” They left the Messenger of God ﷺ feeling heavy-hearted. I met them and said: “Why do I see you two heavy-hearted?” They said: “Because of a hadith we heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: ‘Among the traits of a hypocrite are: when he speaks he lies, when he promises he breaks it, and when he is entrusted he betrays.’” He said: “Did you not ask him about it?” They said: “We were in awe of the Messenger of God ﷺ.” I said: “But I will ask him.” So I entered upon the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: “Abu Bakr and ʿUmar met me, and they were heavy-hearted.” Then I mentioned what they had said. He said: “I did tell them that, but I did not place it where they placed it. Rather, a hypocrite is one who speaks while telling himself that he is lying, promises while telling himself that he will break it, and is entrusted while telling himself that he will betray.”
