اُردوEn
258- وبه من رواية عيسى: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”إذا كان ثلاثة فلا يتناجى اثنان دون واحد.“ كمل حديث نافع عن ابن عمر، وذلك أربعة وستون حديثا، وتقدم له حديث ”لا ينظر الله يوم القيامة“ فى باب زيد بن أسلم.
And (Abu Musa) Isa (bin Miskin: the narrator of the book) narrates with the same chain (from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When there are three people, then two of them should not converse secretly, leaving the third one out." The narrations of Nafi‘ from Ibn Umar are now complete, and these are sixty-four (64) hadiths, and one hadith «لا ينظر الله يوم القيامة» has already passed in the chapter of Zayd bin Aslam.

Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
[وأخرجه البخاري 6288، ومسلم 2183، من حديث مالك به]
Understanding (Tafaqquh):
➊ When two people converse secretly with each other, excluding others, it is called "tanaaji" and "najwa."
➋ If there are only three people in a gathering, it is prohibited for two of them to converse in a language that the third does not understand, without his permission.
➌ The requirement of Islam is that there should always be harmony and unity among Muslims, and there should be no kind of misunderstanding or ill suspicion between them.
➍ A Muslim should always be mindful of the self-respect (dignity) of another Muslim.

Hadith Commentary:
The second narration indicates that when one sits in the company of someone, he should keep the confidential matters in his heart as a trust (amanah) and should not disclose them, lest his brother be hurt by it.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
The wording of one narration is as follows:
“This whispering makes the third person sad.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Isti’dhan, Hadith: 6290)
This means that if there are three people, and two of them go aside and speak secretly, the third will become concerned that they are perhaps plotting something against him; thus, he will become unnecessarily worried and saddened. However, if there are more people present, then there is no harm, as will be clarified further on.
