- (خرجَ رجلٌ من (خيبرَ) ، فاتبَعه رجلان، وآخرُ يتلوهما يقول: ارجعا ارجعا، حتَّى ردَّهما، ثم لحق الأول، فقال: إنَّ هذينِ شيطانانِ، وإنِّي لمْ أزلْ بهما حتى رددتهما، فإذا أتيت رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فأَقرئه السلامَ، وأخبره أنَّا ههنا في جمع صدقاتنا، ولو كانت تصلحُ له لبَعَثْنَا بها إليه. قال: فلمَّا قدمَ الرجلُ المدينةَ أخبرَ النبيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -، فعند ذلك نهى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - عن الخَلْوةِ) .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: A man set out from Khaybar, two men followed behind him, and another man followed behind those two. He was telling them: "Turn back, turn back." (Until) he made them turn back, then he caught up with the first man and informed him that those two were devils. I kept following them until I made them turn back. When you reach the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), convey my greetings to him and inform him that we are collecting charity here; if you are worthy in the sight of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we will send it. That man reached Madinah and informed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of the whole matter. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade seclusion (privacy).
