Riyad as-Salihin 1725 (Book 17, Hadith 215) #38214
Respect for Hypocrites

SUMMARY: It is not wise to address a hypocrite with titles of respect, as it will invite Allah's wrath.

Buraidah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah said, "Do not address a hypocrite with the title of chief, (or similar titles of respect) for even if he deserves this title you will invite Allah's Wrath by using it for him". Abu Dawud.
عن بريدة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏لا تقولوا للمنافق سيد، فإنه إن يكن سيدًا، فقد أسخطتم ربكم عز وجل‏"‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح‏)‏‏)‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Show kindness and respect towards others regardless of their beliefs or actions

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that we should not give hypocrites titles of respect, even if they deserve them. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned us that if we do this, it will invite the wrath of Allah. We should remember that hypocrites are those who pretend to be believers but in reality have no faith in their hearts. They may appear to be good people on the outside but inside they are full of lies and deceit. Therefore, it is important for us to stay away from them and not give them any kind of honor or recognition which they do not deserve.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us that we should always show kindness and respect towards others regardless of their beliefs or actions. We should never judge someone based on what they say or do, but rather look at their intentions and character before making any decisions about them. By doing this, we can ensure that our actions are pleasing to Allah and help create a better society for everyone around us.
