عن عبد الله بنِ عمرَ رضي الله عنهما أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ:«مَفَاتِحُ الغَيْبِ خَمْسٌ لا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ:لا يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي غَدٍ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،وَلاَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَغِيضُ الأَرْحَامُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،وَلاَ يَعْلَمُ مَتَى يَأْتِي المَطَرُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،وَلا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ،وَلا يَعْلَمُ مَتَى تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ»
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
There are five keys to the world beyond the reach of human perception. These are known to no one other than God. None other than God knows what tomorrow will bring. No one other than God knows by how much the wombs may fall short in gestation. No one other than God knows at what time rain will come. No soul knows in what land it will die. And only God knows when the Last Hour takes place.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) mentions four of the main characteristics of hypocrites. No Muslim may have any of these characteristics. Whoever combines all these four is a total hypocrite, and whoever has one of them is a partial hypocrite. These four are betrayal of trust, lying, treachery and being wild in a quarrel.
