باب ذَمِّ ذِي الْوَجْهَيْنِ وَتَحْرِيمِ فِعْلِهِ ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 2526c
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ ‏ ‏.‏
"‏ إِنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ ذَا الْوَجْهَيْنِ الَّذِي يَأْتِي هَؤُلاَءِ بِوَجْهٍ وَهَؤُلاَءِ بِوَجْهٍ ‏"
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

The worst amongst the people is the double-faced one; he comes to some people with one face and to others with the other face.
