Imam Ali (AS) said, I fear for you from every eloquent speaker who is a hypocrite at heart, he says what you know [to be good] but does what you dislike [and know to be bad].
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنّي أخافُ عَلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ عَليمِ اللِّسانِ مُنافِقِ الجِنانِ يَقُولُ ماتَعْلَمُونَ وَيَفْعَلُ ما تُنْكِرونَ
