حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: لاَ يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ الْآخَرِ حَتَّى يَخْتَلِطُوا بِالنَّاسِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ يُحْزِنُهُ.
'Abdullah reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Two should not converse to the exclusion of another until
they are mixing with people since that would distress him."
وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ، قُلْنَا: فَإِنْ كَانُوا أَرْبَعَةً؟ قَالَ: لا يَضُرُّهُ.
Ibn 'Umar reported something similar from the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace. He stated, "We said, 'If there are four?'
He said, 'Then it will not harm him.'"
'Abdullah reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "When there are three people, two should not converse
together to the exclusion of the third for that would grieve him."
