Question
How did Allah and His Messenger (pbuh) describe double
face people in Islam?
Answer
Praise be to Allaah (SWT)
Double-faced people are those people who meet people
according to what the person may like. They have a different way of treating
and interacting with every other person. They are sweet to your face but mock
you behind your back.
Condemnation Of Double-Faced People
Allaah, the Exalted, says:
"They may
hide (their crimes) from men, but they cannot hide (them) from Allaah; for He
is with them (by His Knowledge), when they plot by night in words that He does
not approve. And Allaah ever encompasses what they do.''
(Qur'an 4:108)
Narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allaah be pleased with him)
that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The
worst people in the Sight of Allaah on the Day of Resurrection will be the
double faced people who appear to some people with one face and to other people
with another face."
(Sahih al-Bukhari)
Commentary:
A
"double-faced person'' is one who makes a group believe that he is their
supporter and well-wisher, but when he goes to the opposite group, he tries to
make them believe that he is entirely with them. The best among people is one
who goes to every group and earnestly tries to reform it.
Narrated by
Muhammad bin Zaid that Some people said to my grandfather, 'Abdullaah bin 'Umar
(May Allaah be pleased with them): "We visit our rulers and tell them
things contrary to what we say when we leave them. `Abdullaah bin `Umar (May
Allaah be pleased with them) replied: "In the days of the Messenger of
Allaah (PBUH), we counted this act as an act of hypocrisy.''
[Sahih Bukhari]
