3975. It was narrated that Abu Sha'tha' said: "It was said to Ibn 'Umar: 'We enter upon our rulers and say one thing, and when we leave them we say something else.' He said: 'At the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, we used to regard that as hypocrisy.'" (Sahih)
3975 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِي يَعْلَى، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ، قَالَ: قِيلَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ: إِنَّا نَدْخُلُ عَلَى أُمَرَائِنَا فَنَقُولُ الْقَوْلَ: فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا قُلْنَا غَيْرَهُ، قَالَ: «كُنَّا نَعُدُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، النِّفَاقَ»

Informing the rulers of the correct situation and giving them good advice is compulsory. Misleading them to get their pleasure or commending their bad deeds knowing that they are bad, is a tremendous mistake that results in harming the ruler and the Muslim nation as well.
