Sahih Muslim 2482b (Book 44, Hadith 209) #13460
Keeping Secrets

SUMMARY: Anas b. Malik was told something in secret by Allah's Apostle and he did not tell anyone about it, even when asked.

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Apostle told me something secretly. I informed none about that and Umm Sulaim asked me about it, but I did not tell her even.
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ أَسَرَّ إِلَىَّ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ سِرًّا فَمَا أَخْبَرْتُ بِهِ أَحَدًا بَعْدُ ‏.‏ وَلَقَدْ سَأَلَتْنِي عَنْهُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ فَمَا أَخْبَرْتُهَا بِهِ
