SINCE THE HYPOCRITES ATTACH GREAT IMPORTANCE TO MAKING A GREAT DISPLAY, HE IS EXTREMELY ACTIVE AMONG PEOPLE YET LAZY AND LANGUID WHEN ALONE

Hazrat Ali (ra) stated: "There are three signs of a hypocrite. When he is left alone, he grows lazy; when he is among people, he becomes very active; he performs acts of worship more when praised, less when disparaged!"
