The Shaykh may Allah preserve him says: " There are six characteristics that Allah the Glorified and Most High and the Messenger sallahu ‘alayhi wasallam mention about the Hypocrites prayer:



1.Firstly: He/She doesn’t stand for the prayer except that they are lackadaisical.

2.Secondly: They do not remember Allah in it except a little.

3.Thirdly: They seek to be seen of the people and they are not afraid of Allah the Most High.

4.Fourthly: They do not offer it at its proper time.

5.Fifthly: They do not establish it with the congregation.

6.Sixthly: They do not have tranquility in it rather they peck like a bird (pray quickly without any serenity).

These are six characteristics about the Hypocrites prayer and Allah’s refuge is sought. I ask Allah to protect us and you from them all.
