Private Conversations –
When the uncle of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, Abu Talib, died, he lost a source of support and protection against the non-Muslims of Mecca. The physical violence of the non-Muslims of Mecca against him greatly increased. So he decided to visit the near city of Taif in order to call their people to Islam and seek their help against the non-Muslims of Mecca. When he met the leaders of Taif they insulted and ridiculed him. As he was leaving Taif, he requested them to keep their meeting and conversation a secret as he knew the non-Muslims of Mecca would only intensify their violence against him if they found out about it. But the leaders of Taif refused to even this act of common decency. This has been discussed in Imam Ibn Kathir’s, the Life of the Prophet, Volume 2, Pages 99-100.
In a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 1959, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, indicated that private conversations are a trust which must be protected.
Unfortunately, many have the bad habit of divulging the private conversations of people to others. This is an incredibly bad characteristic to possess as it contradicts the attitude of a true Muslim. Many do this with their close relatives believing it is acceptable when it is clearly not. A Muslim should always keep the words spoken in a conversation secret unless they are fully sure the person they conversed with would not mind the information being mentioned to a third party. If they would then doing this betrays them which contradicts being sincere to them. Being sincere to others has been commanded in a Hadith found in Sunan An Nasai, number 4204. It is important to act on the main Hadith as it prevents sins such as backbiting and gossiping and prevents negative feelings being developed for each other. These all only lead to fractured and broken relationships. If one honestly reflects on their life they will realize that the majority of the people they have felt negative feelings towards occurred because of what they were told about them not what they directly witnessed about them. Divulging private conversations prevents unity amongst people especially relatives. And unity has been commanded in many teachings of Islam such as the one declared in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 6065. Chapter 4 An Nisa, verse 58:
“Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due…”
