NASIR


On the authority of Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (sas) said: "Four traits whoever possesses them is a hypocrite and whoever possesses some of them has an element of hypocrisy until he leaves it: the one who when he speaks he lies, when he promises he breaks his promise, when he disputes he transgresses and when he makes an agreement he violates it. (Compiled by Muslim and Bukhari)
