2405. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed Allāh, Most High, said: 'I have created creatures whose tongues are sweeter than honey and their hearts are more bitter than aloes. So by Me, I swear to abase them with a Fitnah, leaving them utterly devoid of reason. Is it Me whom they try to delude, or it is against Me whom they conspire?'" (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb as a narration of Ibn 'Umar, we do not know of it except through this route.

Commentary
Sycophants and flatterers who, thanks to their gift of the gab, enthral people by the sweetness of their tongue. However, their hearts, full as they are of false ideas and caught in the vortex of earthly benefits, are bitter to the extreme; they are devoid of all sentiments of compassion and well-wishing for others.
