Hazrat Abu Al-Jawzaa (may Allah have mercy on him) says that moving stones is easier for a hypocrite than reciting the Holy Qur'an, and Saeed (may Allah have mercy on him) says that it is even lighter for a hypocrite.

Hazrat Muhammad bin Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Ibrahim bin Maisarah (may Allah have mercy on him) informed that Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) attacked a city.

So Abu Ayyub said, "Look at what you are saying!" He replied, "I am saying this to both of you." Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) prayed, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from being disgraced before Ubadah bin Samit and Sa'd bin Ubadah due to the deeds I do after them."
