If he looks around; then it is a secret


If he looks around; then it is a secret

Narrated by Tirmidi (1959) from Jaabir bin Abdullah from the Prophet, prayers and peace are upon him. He said:
“If a man tells you something then looks around it is a trust.”

Shaykh Al Albani declared it to be Hassan.
Al Ahwadi said in Tufah:
(Then he looks around) Meaning he looks to the right and to the left as a way of caution (then it is a trust) meaning it is entrusted to the one to whom he spoke, this means that it comes under the same rulings as a trust, so he must conceal it.
Ibn Raslaan said:
Because his looking around is the signal to the one to whom he is speaking that he is afraid that someone may overhear him, and that he has chosen him to tell his secret to. His looking around takes the place of his saying, ‘Listen to this and keep quiet about it because it is a trust.’”
روى الترمذي (1959) عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : إِذَا حَدَّثَ الرَّجُلُ الْحَدِيثَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَهِيَ أَمَانَةٌ . حسنه الألباني في صحيح الترمذي .

قال في “تحفة الأحوذي” :

( ثُمَّ اِلْتَفَتَ ) أَيْ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالا اِحْتِيَاطًا ( فَهِيَ أَمَانَةٌ ) أَيْ عِنْدَ مَنْ حَدَّثَهُ أَيْ حُكْمُهُ حُكْمُ الأَمَانَةِ فَيَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ كَتْمُهُ . قَالَ اِبْنُ رَسْلانَ : لأَنَّ اِلْتِفَاتَهُ إِعْلامٌ لِمَنْ يُحَدِّثُهُ أَنَّهُ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ حَدِيثَهُ أَحَدٌ وَأَنَّهُ قَدْ خَصَّهُ سِرَّهُ , فَكَانَ الالْتِفَاتُ قَائِمًا مَقَامَ اُكْتُمْ هَذَا عَنِّي أَيْ خُذْهُ عَنِّي وَاكْتُمْهُ وَهُوَ عِنْدَك أَمَانَةٌ اهـ
