5023. It was narrated from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr that the Prophet ﷺ said: “There are four (traits), whoever has them is a hypocrite and whoever has one of
them, then has one of the traits 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 language.” (Sahih)

Commentary
Here hypocrite does not signify creedal or doctrinal, because one cannot become aware of it except by way of Wahy or Revelation. Rather, action-related or practical hypocrite is meant, meaning whose works are like those of hypocrites. And these works are in reality the works of hypocrites.
