TWO SHOULD NOT SPEAK IN SECRET IN FRONT OF A THIRD

1640

“In a group of three people, two should not speak in secret to the exclusion of the third. I (Abu Saleh), asked the son of Omar, ‘What would be the case if there happened to be four?’ To this he replied, ‘Under those circumstances there is no harm.’"

Abu Daud with a chain up to ibn Omar who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
