2271 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to us; al-Walid narrated to us. He said, “I heard al-Awzaʿi say: I heard Bilal ibn Saʿd say:
‘Do not present yourself as the friend of Allah in public while acting as His enemy in private.’”
٢٢٧١ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ بِلَالَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، يَقُولُ: «لَا تَكُنْ وَلِيَ اللَّهِ فِي الْعَلَانِيَةِ وَعَدُوَّهُ فِي السِّرِّ»
