Not much, as far as I am aware, but one thing I do know is that the Quran tells us that we should never offer any prayers for a munafiq after he dies (if he openly admitted that he was a munafiq and dies in that state) nor even go to his grave:
"And you (O Muhammad) should never ever offer prayers for anyone from amongst them (the hypocrites) who dies, nor even stand at his grave; for they have denied Allah and His Messenger and died while they were transgressors!" (Surah 9:84)
In another verse we are told: "Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire, and no helper will you find for them." (Surah 4:145)
Most of all, the Quran mentions many of the 'signs' or characteristics of munafiqs (or hypocrites) so that we are able to be cautious of them. One of the things that they have in common is that they are double-faced, so while being around Muslims, they act as if they are believers (by both speech and actions), but when they are with their friends or with a non-believer, they start to mock or joke about the Muslims and their religion. Another characteristic of the munafiqs is that their appearance and their speech will please you; their forms are pleasing and their speech is eloquent, but in reality they are like the hollow trunks of a tree as the Quran says:
"And when you see them, their forms please you, and when they speak, you listen to their speech. (They are) as though they were hollow pieces of wood propped up." (Surah 63:4)
The are many verses in the Quran that describe the qualities of munafiqs and you can see some of those at the link below:
