Hadith 1437
حدثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حدثنا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ الْعُمَرِيِّ ، حدثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ مِنْ أَشَرِّ النَّاسِ ، عَنْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْزِلَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الرَّجُلَ يُفْضِي إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ وَتُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ يَنْشُرُ سِرَّهَا " .
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The most wicked among the people in the eye of Allah on the Day of Judgment is the man who goes to his wife and she comes to him, and then he divulges her secret.

وحدثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، قَالَا : حدثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْأَمَانَةِ ، عَنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الرَّجُلَ يُفْضِي إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ وَتُفْضِي إِلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ يَنْشُرُ سِرَّهَا " ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ : إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ .
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The most important of the trusts in the sight of Allah on the Day of Judgment is that a man goes to his wife and she goes to him (and the breach of this trust is) that he should divulge her secret. Ibn Numair narrates this hadith with a slight change of wording.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: A husband and wife have intercourse with each other in seclusion from people, which is an indication that this is a concealed act, the disclosure of which is not appropriate. Therefore, if a husband and wife describe or depict this act and its details before others, it is a betrayal of trust and the disclosure of a hidden secret, which is an extremely reprehensible act and one that is liable to accountability.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has made husband and wife as garments for one another, so to disclose each other's secrets before others is a very reprehensible act.
Except in the case where, due to some Shar‘i necessity, one is required to mention something before a judge (qadi) or the like.
