2684. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Two things will not be together in a hypocrite: Good manners, and Fiqh in the religion." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharib. We do not know of this Hadīth as a narration of 'Awf except through the narration of this Shaikh, Khalaf bin Ayyūb Al-'Āmirī. I have not seen anyone reporting from him other than [Abū Kuraib] Muḥammad bin Al-'Alā', and I do not know how he is.[1]
٢٦٨٤ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْعَامِرِيُّ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَصْلَتَانِ» لَا تَجْتَمِعَانِ فِي مُنَافِقٍ؛ حُسْنُ سَمْتٍ، وَلَا فِقْهٌ فِي الدِّينِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَلَا نَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَوْفٍ، إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ هَذَا الشَّيْخِ خَلَفِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ الْعَامِرِيِّ، وَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا يَرْوِي عَنْهُ غَيْرَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ، وَلَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ هُوَ.

The Noble Prophet ﷺ meant that a believer should develop these two characteristics in himself, the heart and the tongue of a hypocrite do not agree and tally with each other; therefore these characteristics are not found in a hypocrite.
