Historical Usage
Ibn Hajar Al-Haytami in his book 'Al-Fatawa Al-Hadithah', mentions the term 'Munafiq' to refer to hypocrites or those who feign faith while harboring disbelief or doubts in their hearts. This term was commonly used during the early Islamic period and in particular, during the caliphate of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (634-644 AD).
Early Islamic period, 7th century AD
Al-Bukhari and Muslim in their collections of Hadith mention narrations from Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) warning against the Munafiqoon (hypocrites) and advising Muslims to be wary of them. This indicates that the term was in use during the lifetime of the Prophet (pbuh) in the 7th century AD.
