The Behavior and Conduct of Hypocrites
Allah the Exalted reveals that the hypocrites pretended to be Muslims when they approached the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. In reality, they were not true believers but the opposite. This is why Allah the Exalted says, “When the hypocrites come to you, they say: ‘We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah.'” This means that the hypocrites would make this statement and pretend to believe it when they came to the Prophet. However, Allah clarifies that their statement is insincere. Thus, He affirms, “Allah knows that you are indeed His Messenger,” and further states, “And Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are liars indeed,” indicating that their claims are false despite the truth about the Prophet.
Imam Ahmad recorded a narration from Abu Hurayrah, who said that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
”Hypocrites have certain signs that they are known by. Their greeting is really a curse, their food is from stealing and the war booty they collect is from theft. They shun the Masjid and they do not come to the prayer but at its end. They are arrogant; it is neither easy for them to blend in, nor it is easy for people to blend with them. And they are like pieces of wood by night and are noisy by day.”
Hypocrites Are Very Attractive When They Come To You.
Allah here is addressing the Noble Prophet. He is saying that when the hypocrites come to you, you notice that physically they are very attractive. They wear elegant clothes and are tidy. When they speak, you listen to them with rapt attention because of their superficial eloquence. However, they are hollow from the inside. They are like pieces of wood that have been leaned against the wall, meaning they have no spirit, no faith in God, no reliance and trust in Him, and no value.
Hypocrites are not inclined to request the Prophet to ask Allah for their forgiveness.
