279 — Ahmad ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to us: Yaʿlā ibn Ubayd narrated to us: al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from Ibrāhīm, from Abū al-Shaʿthāʾ, who said: Ibn Umar—may Allah be pleased with them both—was told: “We enter the presence of our rulers and say one thing, but when we leave, we say something else.” He replied: “During the time of the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—we used to regard that as hypocrisy.”
