Mishkat al-Masabih 219
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
" خَصْلَتَانِ لَا تَجْتَمِعَانِ فِي مُنَافِقٍ: حُسْنُ سَمْتٍ وَلَا فِقْهٌ فِي الدّين "
Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, “Two qualities are not found together in a hypocrite:

good behaviour and knowledge of religion.” Tirmidhi transmitted it.
