حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ قَالَ قِيلَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ إِنَّ
ا نَدْخُلُ عَلَى أُمَرَائِنَا فَنَقُولُ الْقَوْلَ فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا قُلْنَا غَيْرَهُ فَقَالَ كُنَّا نَعُدُّ هَذَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النِّفَاقَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Ya'la ibn 'Ubayd, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim, from Abu al-Sha'tha' — that he said: 'It was said to Ibn 'Umar: "We enter upon our rulers and say one thing [agreeing with them], then when we leave we say otherwise." He said: "In the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we used to consider this to be hypocrisy [nifaq]."'
