Chapter: On keeping
secrets
Allah Almighty says, "Fulfil your contracts. Contracts will be
asked about." (17:34)
685. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "The worst of people in the sight of Allah
on the Day of Rising is a man who goes to his wife or his wife goes to him and
then he discloses her secret." [Muslim]
686. 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar reported that when 'Umar's daughter Hafsa became a
widow, 'Umar said, "I met 'Uthman ibn 'Affan and offered him Hafsa. I said,
'Would you like to marry Hafsa bint 'Umar?' He said, 'I will think about it.' I
waited some days and then he met me and said, 'I do not think that I should
marry at this time. Then I met Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and said, 'Would you like to
marry Hafsa bint 'Umar?' Abu Bakr was silent and did not reply to me at all! I
felt that more than what had happened to me with 'Uthman. I remained some days
and then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked to marry
her and so I married her to him. Abu Bakr met me and said, 'Perhaps you were
upset at me when you proposed Hafsa to me and I did not answer you at all?' I
said, 'Yes I was.' He said, 'All that prevented me from answering you regarding
what you proposed to me was that I knew that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, had mentioned her and I would not divulge the secret of the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. If the Prophet had
relinquished her, I would have accepted her.'" [al-Bukhari]
687. 'A'isha said, "The wives of the Prophet were with him when Fatima
arrived on foot. Her gait was exactly like the gait of the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When he saw her, he welcomed her and
said, 'Welcome, my daughter.' Then he sat her down on his right or his left.
Then he whispered to her and she wept bitterly. When he saw her grief, he
whispered to her a second time and she smiled. I said to her, 'The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, singled you out before his wives
and spoke to you secretly and then you wept.' When the Messenger of Allah got
up, I asked her, 'What did the Messenger of Allah say to you?' She said, 'I
would not disclose the Messenger of Allah's secret.' When the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died, I said, 'I adjure you by
the right I have over you, tell me what the Messenger of Allah said to you.' She
said, 'Now I will. When he whispered to me the first time, he told me that Jibril had recited the Qur'an to him once or twice every year and that now he
had made him recite it twice. (He said), "I think that my term is near, so be
fearful of Allah and be steadfast. I am the best forerunner for you." So I wept
as you saw. When he saw my grief, he whispered to me a second time and said,
"Fatima, are you not pleased to be the leader of the women of the believers or
the leader of the women of this community?" So I smiled as you saw.'" [Agreed
upon. This is the variant in Muslim]
688. Thabit mentioned that Anas said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, came up to me while I was playing with the other
boys and greeted us. He sent me on an errand and I was late coming back to my
mother. When I came, she said, 'What kept you?' I said, 'The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent me on an errand.' She said, 'What
errand?' I said, 'It is a secret.' She said, 'Do not tell anyone the secret of
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.'" Anas said,
"By Allah, if I were to tell it to anyone, I would tell it to you, Thabit."
[Muslim]
