عن محمد بن زيد: أن نَاسًا قالوا لجده عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما : إنا ندخل على سَلاطِينِنَا فنقول لهم بخلاف ما نتكلم إذا خرجنا من عندهم، قال: كنا نَعُدُّ هذا نفاقا على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم .

“Muhammad ibn Zayd reported that some people said to his grandfather ‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them): When we enter upon our rulers, we say to them things contrary to what we say when we leave them. He said: "We used to consider this hypocrisy during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)."”
