Hadith 34, Chapter 24, Sahih Bukhari

Hadith 34 in English

Signs of Pure Hypocrisy

It is narrated by A’bdullah bin ‘Amr (May ALLAH be pleased with) that The Prophet (peace be upon him) said. “Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy until and unless he gives it up.

1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays(proves dishonest).
2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
3. Whenever he makes a promise, he breaks it.
4. Whenever he quarrels, he uses vulgar language and crosses his limits.

The meaning of hypocrisy in this Hadith refers to the customary meaning or hypocritic in terms of his deeds. It does not refer to hypocrisy in belief. A person becomes a pure hypocrite due to these 4 qualities because these qualities change his external and internal completely and he becomes very much similar to the hypocrites.

The mention of 3 qualities of hypocrites in the first hadith & 4 qualities in the second hadith

Few people might object on this Hadith that in the previous Hadith, 3 characteristics of hypocrisy were mentioned. And in this Hadith one more sign is stated that whenever he fights, he uses vulgar language and crosses his limits. The answer to this is in  the first Hadith, it was just the signs of hypocrisy, and in this Hadith 4 signs of pure hypocrisy are revealed.

Hadith 34 Roman Urdu

Khalis Nifaq ki a’lamatein

Imam Bukhari riwayat karte hain keh hamein QabeeSah bin Uqbah ne hadith bayan ki, unhone kaha, hamein Sufyan ne hadith bayan ki az a’amash az A’bdullah bin murra az masrooq az A’bdullah bin A’mr keh Nabi (Sallallahu a’laihi wa sallam) ne farmaya, 4 khaslatein jisme hongi, woh khalis munafiq hoga. Aur jisme in char mein se ek khaslat ho, usme nifaq ki ek khaslat hogi, hatta keh woh is khaslat ko chod de.

1. Jab iske paas amanat rakhi jaaye toh isme khayanat kare.
2. Aur jab baat kare toh jhoot bole
3. Aur jab ahed kare toh tod de
4. Aur jab jhagda kare toh bad kalami kare aur had se tajawwuz kare.

Is hadith mein nifaq se nifaq amali ya nifaq urfi murad hai. Nifaq e sharayi murad nahi hai. In 4 khaslaton ki wajeh se khalis munafiq is liye hota hai keh un char 4 khaslaton ki wajeh se iske zahir aur baatin mein mukammal mukhalifat hojati hai, yani woh in khaslaton ki wajeh se munafiqeen se bohat zyada mushabeh hojata hai.

Pehli hadith mein nifaq ki teen a’lamatein aur dosri hadith mein nifaq ki 4 a’lamatein bayan karne ki taujiyah

Is hadith par yeh aitraaz hota hai keh pehli hadith mein nifaq ki a’laamaton ka 3 mein hisr kiya gaya tha. Aur dosri hadith mein ek aur a’lamat bayan farmayi hai keh jab woh jhagadta hai toh bad kalami karta hai aur had se badhta hai. Iska jawab yeh hai keh pehli hadith mein mujarrad nifaq ki 3 alaamatein bayan farmayi thin aur is hadith mein khalis nifaq ki 4 a’lamatein bayan farmayi hain.
