A believer does not divulge the secrets that he is confided in to a third party, not even to his closest friends and he does not mention a brother's faults in his absence or in his presence.
The prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) said,
" If a man shares information, then looks about him, (everything said) it is a confidence."
and he said, " Beware of suspicion (of one another) , for suspicion is the most untruthful report, suspicion leads to prying and spying."
A man in the prophet's time was asked, "how do you keep a secret?"
He replied, "I hide it and I hide the fact that I'm hiding a secret, when I'm confided in."
There is a saying, " The breasts of free men are the tombs of secrets." Another saying goes, " The fools heart is in his mouth, but the intelligent man's tongue is in his heart." A fool cannot conceal what is inside him, but will consciously or unconsciously blurt it out. Hence, it is necessary not to confide in such people.
A man's belief is incomplete so long as he does not wish for his brother what he wishes for himself. The lowest degree in brotherhood is where you treat your brother as you would wish to be treated, and the highest, most noble form is that you prefer him over yourself. A believer's right is that their shame, faults, and sins are covered by others, and not exposed for humiliation.
