of Allah (PBUH) said: "The signs of a hypocrite are three: 1. Whenever
he speaks, he tells a lie. 2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks

was the day of Khaibar a party of Companions of the prophet (PBUH)
came there and said: So and so is a martyr, till they happened to pass

for the garment or cloak that he had stolen from the booty)) .Narrated

reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Four (characteristics)
whoever has them will be a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one of them
will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless he gives it up:
