Indeed, Satan may take the form of a man…

who comes to these with one face and to those with another
(1) His statement: “who comes to these with one face and to those with another”: meaning, with a different face, like the hypocrites and talebearers, as stated in Al-Mirqat. In Umdat al-Qari, it is said: This is the forbidden flattery (mudahanah), and he is called two-faced because he shows satisfaction to the people of evil, greeting them with a welcoming and cheerful face, and does the same with the people of truth, mixing with both groups, earning the name of flatterer and deserving severe warning. In another part of Al-Mirqat, it is said: It refers to one who presents himself to a person as a supporter and well-wisher but speaks ill of him in his absence. Alternatively, it means one who acts as a friend to both enemies, praising each while disparaging the other to the other.

(۱) قوله : الذي يأتي هؤلاء بوجه وهؤلاء بوجه أي بوجه آخر كالمنافقين والنمامين قاله في «المرقاة». وقال في عمدة القاري وهذه هي المداهنة المحرمة، وسمي ذو الوجهين مداهنا؛ لأنه يظهر لأهل المنكر أنه عنهم راضي، فيلقاهم بوجه سمح بالترحيب والبشر، وكذلك يظهر لأهل الحق ما أظهر لأهل المنكر، فيخلطه لكلتا الطائفتين، وإظهاره الرضى بفعلهم استحق اسم المداهنة، واستحق الوعيد الشديد أيضًا. وقال في المرقاة» في موضع آخر: قيل: المراد به من يرى نفسه عند شخص أنه من جملة محبيه وناصحيه، وهو يحدث في غيبته بمساويه. وقيل: المعنى من كان مع كل واحد من عدوين كأنه صديقه، ويظن أنه ناصر له، ويذم هذا عند ذلك، وذلك عند هذا.

Part of the excellence of a person’s Islam…
(1) His statement: “Part of the excellence of a person’s Islam…”: An-Nawawi said: This is one of the Hadiths upon which Islam revolves. Abu Dawud said: There are four: The first is Nu’man ibn Bashir’s Hadith: “The lawful is clear, the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters unknown to most.” The second: “Part of the excellence of a person’s Islam is abandoning what does not concern him.” The third: “A believer is not truly a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” The fourth: “Actions are judged by intentions.” Alternatively, instead of the third: “Be indifferent to the world, and Allah will love you; be indifferent to what people possess, and they will love you.” [As stated in Al-Mirqat]
