Riyad as-Saliheen 1618
`Abdullah bin `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
Some people told me, "We visit our rulers and we tell them things contrary to those which we say when we depart from them."
`Abdullah bin `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) replied: "In the era of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we considered this to be an act of hypocrisy."
[Al-Bukhari].
وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن ناسًا قالوا له: إنا ندخل على سلاطيننا فنقول لهم بخلاف ما نتكلم إذا خرجنا من عندهم؟ قال ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما: كنا نعد هذا نفاقًا على عهد رسول الله ﷺ ((رواه البخاري)).
