Muhammad bin Abdullah narrates that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) met some people who were coming out after meeting Marwan. He asked: Where have these people come from? They said: We have come from the governor Marwan. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to them: And did you speak about the truth you saw there, and help Marwan in it, and did you reject the evil you saw there and refute Marwan for it? They said: No, by Allah! Rather, even regarding the things of Marwan that were worthy of rejection, we said: You have done right, may Allah set you right. Then when we left him, we said among ourselves: May Allah destroy this Marwan, how oppressive and evil a man he is. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to consider such behavior as hypocrisy.
