1؎ :
The meaning of the hadith is that if a person says something to you and, while speaking, turns to look to his right and left, then his intention is that this is a confidential matter being shared only with you, and no one else should be informed of it. Therefore, it is part of the listener’s trustworthiness to keep it secret, because this is among the etiquettes of a gathering.
