وَعَن حُذَيْفَة قَالَ: إِنَّمَا كَانَ النِّفَاق عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الْكفْر بعد الايمان. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Hudhaifa said, “Hypocrisy existed only in the time of God’s messenger, whereas to-day there are only unbelief and faith.” Bukhari transmitted it.
Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 7114). Cited in Mishkat al-Masabih (No. 62).

كَانَ النِّفَاقُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الْكُفْرُ بَعْدَ الإِيمَانِ.
