4-129 Al-Hassan ibn Abdullah ibn Sa’id al-Askari narrated that the judge - Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Walid quoted Yahya ibn Hatam, on the authority of Yazid ibn Harun, on the authority of Shu’bat, on the authority of Al-A’amash, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mar’rat, on the authority of Masruq, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Masood that the
Prophet (MGB) said, “Whoever possesses four characteristics is a hypocrite. Even if one has only one of these characteristics he is a hypocrite, unless he gives up that characteristic: one who lies when he talks; one who breaks his promises; one who breaks his pledges; and one who cheats when he fights.”
4-129 حدثنا الحسن بن عبد الله بن سعيد العسكري قال: حدثنا محمد بن موسى ابن الوليد العدل قال: حدثنا يحيى بن حاتم قال: حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: حدثنا شعبة، عن الاعمش، عن عبد الله بن مرة، عن مسروق، عن عبد الله بن مسعود، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله قال
أربع من كن فيه فهو منافق وإن كانت فيه واحدة منهن كانت فيه خصلة من النفاق حتى يدعها: من إذا حدث كذب، وإذا وعد أخلف وإذا عاهد غدر، وإذا خاصم فجر
