Munāfiq (منافق, مُنَافِقُونَ, الْمُنَافِقِينَ)

Hypocrite(s)

وَمِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ مُنَافِقُونَ ۖ وَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ۖ مَرَدُوا عَلَى النِّفَاقِ لَا تَعْلَمُهُمْ ۖ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْ ۚ سَنُعَذِّبُهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَذَابٍ عَظِيمٍ {101}

And from the ones around you from the Bedouins are ‘مُنَافِقُونَ’ hypocrites, and from the people of Al-Medina are stubborn upon the hypocrisy. You do not know them, We Know them. We will be Punishing them twice, then they will be Returned to the grievous Punishment [9:101]

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا إِلَىٰ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَإِلَى الرَّسُولِ رَأَيْتَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْكَ صُدُودًا {61}

And when it is said to them: ‘Come to what Allah has Revealed and to the Rasool’, you will see the hypocrites hindering (people) from you in aversion [4:61]

كا، الكافي عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقاً وَ إِنْ صَامَ وَ صَلَّى وَ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مُسْلِمٌ مَنْ إِذَا ائْتُمِنَ خَانَ وَ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَ إِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from one of our companions, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,

From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Three, one who has these in him, would be hypocrite, and even if he were to fast, and pray Salat, and claims that he is a Muslim – one when entrusted he betrays, and when he narrates, he lies, and when he promises he breaks.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ فِي كِتَابِهِ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ الْخائِنِينَ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ أَنَّ لَعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كانَ مِنَ الْكاذِبِينَ‏ وَ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ اذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتابِ إِسْماعِيلَ إِنَّهُ كانَ صادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَ كانَ رَسُولًا نَبِيًّا

Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says in His-azwj Book: surely Allah does not Love the treacherous [8:58]; And the fifth, then the Curse of Allah would be upon him if he was from the liars [24:7]; and Words of Mighty and Majestic: And mention Ismail in the Book. He was truthful of the promise, and he was a Rasool, a Prophet [19:54]’’.[1]
