And be a man among people whose inner self is seen

As his outward self, so you are considered a prophet
وَإِنْand if تَختَلِفْyou are inconsistent فيin ذاكَthat كُنتَyou would be مُنافِقاًa hypocrite
وَإِنْ تَختَلِفْ في ذاكَ كُنتَ مُنافِقاً
وَإِنَّand indeed أَخاone possessed of الوَجهَينِthe two faces لَيسَis not وَجيهاhonorable
وَإِنَّ أَخا الوَجهَينِ لَيسَ وَجيها
And if you are inconsistent in that, you are a hypocrite;
And if you differ in that you would be a hypocrite
And indeed, a two-faced man is not honorable.
And indeed the brother of two faces is not honorable
Sol 6.1
