عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهَا: أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللّهِ إِنَّ لِي ضَرَّةً، فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ جُنَاحٌ إِنْ تَشَبَّعْتُ مِنْ زَوْجِي غَيْرَ الَّذِي يُعْطِينِي؟ فَقَالَ النَّبيُّ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمُتَشَبِّعُ بِمَا لَمْ يُعْطَ كَلابِسِ ثَوْبَي زُورٍ» مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ.
Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that a woman said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have a co-wife. Is there any sin upon me if I pretend to be satisfied by my husband with more than he actually gives me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who pretends to be satisfied with what he has not been given is like one who wears two garments of falsehood." Agreed upon (al-Bukhari and Muslim).
الشرح · explanation
ضرة: امرأة الزوج. جناح: إثم. الْمُتَشَبِّعُ: هُوَ الَّذِي يُظْهِرُ الشَّبَعَ وَلَيْسَ بِشَبْعَانَ، وَمَعْنَاهُ هُنَا: أَنَّهُ يُظْهِرُ أَنَّهُ حَصَلَ لَهُ فَضِيلَةٌ وَلَيْسَتْ حَاصِلَةً. لاَبِسُ ثَوْبَيْ زُورٍ: أَيْ يُزَوِّرُ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِأَنْ يَتَزَيَّى بِزِيِّ أَهْلِ الزُّهْدِ أَوِ الْعِلْمِ لِيَغْتَرَّ بِهِ النَّاسُ، وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِتِلْكَ الصِّفَةِ.
"co-wife (darrah)": the [other] wife of the husband. "junah": sin. "the one who feigns satiety (al-mutashabbi)": he is the one who displays satiety while not being satiated; its meaning here is that he displays having attained some virtue which he has not in fact attained. "one who wears two garments of falsehood": that is, he deceives people by adopting the garb of the people of asceticism or of knowledge so that people are deluded by him, while he is not of that description.

أنّ تظاهر الإنسان بما ليس فيه يجعله من الكذابين والمزورين. على المسلم أن يلتزم بحقيقة أمره من غير تدليس أو تزوير أو تغيير لمعالم شخصيته وما يتظاهر به بعض الناس في ما هم فيه هو من الكذب والزور.
A person's pretending to what is not in him makes him one of the liars and falsifiers. The Muslim must remain true to the reality of his situation, without deception, falsification, or altering the features of his character; the pretense some people put on regarding their circumstances is a form of lying and falsehood.
