2825 - If there are three of you, then two of you should not whisper to each other with gossip of their companion إذا كنتم ثلاثة فلا يتناجى اثنان دون صاحبهما

[ 2825 ] حدثنا هناد قال حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش قال وحدثني بن أبي عمر حدثنا سفيان عن الأعمش عن شقيق عن عبد الله قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا كنتم ثلاثة فلا يتناجى اثنان دون صاحبهما وقال سفيان في حديثه لا يتناجى اثنان دون الثالث فإن ذلك يحزنه قال أبو عيسى هذا حديث حسن صحيح وقد روي عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال لا يتناجى اثنان دون واحد فإن ذلك يؤذي المؤمن والله عز وجل يكره أذى المؤمن وفي الباب عن بن عمر وأبي هريرة وابن عباس

[2825] Hannad told us, he said: Abu Muawiyah told us, on the authority of Al-A’mash, he said: Ibn Abi Omar told me, Sufyan told us, on the authority of Al-A’mash, on the authority of Shuqaiq, on the authority of Abdullah, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: If there are three of you, then two of you should not whisper to each other with gossip of their companion. And Sufyan said in his hadith: Two of you should not whisper to each other in gossip of the third, That saddens him. Abu Isa said: This is a good and authentic hadith. It was narrated on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, that he said: Two people should not whisper to each other in private, for that hurts the believer, and God Almighty hates to hurt the believer. There is a hadith on this topic on the authority of Ibn Umar, Abu Hurairah, and Ibn Abbas.
