4688. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'There are four qualities, whoever has them all is a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one of them, has one of the qualities of hypocrisy until he gives it up: When he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise he breaks it; when he makes a covenant he betrays it; and when he argues he resorts to foul speech.'" (Sahih)
4688 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ فَهُوَ مُنَافِقٌ خَالِصٌ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَلَّةٌ مِنْهُنَّ كَانَ فِيهِ خَلَّةٌ مِنْ نِفَاقٍ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ، وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ، وَإِذَا عَاهَدَ غَدَرَ، وَإِذَا خَاصَمَ فَجَرَ»

Hypocrisy is a form of disbelief in the heart, with apparent faith on the limbs. Whoever hold the traits described in the narration, it reflects the state of his heart.
