The Prophetxصلي الله عليه وسلم said,
”You will find that among the most evil of people with Allah (i.e., among the most evil of people in the judgment of Allah) on the Day of Resurrection is he who is two-faced: who goes to these (a group of people) with one face, and to these (another group of people) with [another] face.”

Al-Qurtubee said, “A two-faced person is regarded as so evil because he is like a hypocrite; he sweetly talks with falsehood and lies, and he does dissension among people .” An-Nawaawee said, “a two-faced person is one who goes to each group with what pleases it, giving the appearance that he is from it and opposed to it’s counterpart (or enemy). His action is pure hypocrisy, lying, deception, and trickery… But if a person goes to two groups in order to make peace between them, then he is doing something praiseworthy.” Others have said, “the difference is that a two-faced person praises the group he is with and find faults with the other group, and he does the same when he is on the company of the other group. On the other hand, the praiseworthy person goes to each of the two groups with words of reconciliation, finding excuses for one group while he is with the other, trying to convey good points of the other group while hiding their faults.”
