حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ تَجِدُونَ النَّاسَ مَعَادِنَ، خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ إِذَا فَقِهُوا، وَتَجِدُونَ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ فِي هَذَا الشَّأْنِ أَشَدَّهُمْ لَهُ كَرَاهِيَةً ‏"‏. ‏"‏ وَتَجِدُونَ شَرَّ النَّاسِ ذَا الْوَجْهَيْنِ، الَّذِي يَأْتِي هَؤُلاَءِ بِوَجْهٍ، وَيَأْتِي هَؤُلاَءِ بِوَجْهٍ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You see that the people are of different natures. Those who were the best in the pre-Islamic period, are also the best in Islam if they comprehend religious knowledge. You see that the best amongst the people in this respect (i.e. ambition of ruling) are those who hate it most. And you see that the worst among people is the double faced (person) who appears to these with one face and to the others with another face (i.e a hypocrite)

আর মানুষের মধ্যে সব থেকে নিকৃষ্ট ঐ দু’মুখী ব্যক্তি যে একদলের সঙ্গে এক ভাবে কথা বলে, অপর দলের সঙ্গে আরেকভাবে কথা বলে। (৬০৫৮, ৭১৭৯, মুসলিম ৪৪/৪৮ হাঃ ২৫২৬, আহমাদ ১০৭৯৫) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৩২৩৩, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ ৩২৪৩ শেষাংশ)
