THEY ARE UPSET WHEN
            GOOD THINGS HAPPEN
            TO THE BELIEVERS
            If good happens to you it galls them. If a mishap occurs to you,
            they say, 'We made our preparations in advance,' and they turn
            away rejoicing. (Qur'an, 9:50)

            THEY ASSEMBLE FURTIVELY
            TO PLOT ENMITY AND REVOLT
            AGAINST THE BELIEVERS
            They try to conceal themselves from people, but they cannot
            conceal themselves from Allah. He is with them when they spend
            the night saying things which are not pleasing to Him. Allah
            encompasses everything they do.  (Qur'an, 4:108)
            Do you not see those who were forbidden to confer together
            secretly returning to the very thing they were forbidden to do,
            and conferring together secretly in wrongdoing and enmity and
            disobedience to the Messenger?And when they come to you they
            greet you with words Allah has never used in greeting you, and
            say to themselves 'Why does Allah not punish us for what we
            say?' Hell will be enough for them! They will roast in it. What an
            evil destination! (Qur'an, 58:8)

            THEY TRY TO PLEASE THE BELIEVERS
            WHILE THEY ARE WITH THEM
            When the hypocrites come to you they say, 'We bear witness that
            you are indeed the Messenger of Allah.'Allah knows that you are
            indeed His Messenger and Allah bears witness that the hypocrites
            are certainly liars. (Qur'an, 63:1)
            They swear to you by Allah in order to please you, but it would
            be more fitting for them to please Allah and His Messenger if they
            are believers. (Qur'an, 9:62)
