Jami at-Tirmidhi 3090 (Book 47, Hadith 142) #28739
Conveying Messages within Family

SUMMARY: The Prophet sent Abu Bakr to announce the disavowal of idolaters, but then decided that only a man from his family should deliver the message and so called for 'Ali.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: "The Prophet sent Abu Bakr with the (announcement of) Bara'ah (the declaration to publicize the disavowal of the idolaters). Then he summoned him and said: 'It is not right for anyone to convey this except a man among my family'."So he called for 'Ali and gave it to him".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، وَعَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ بِبَرَاءَةَ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُبَلِّغَ هَذَا إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَدَعَا عَلِيًّا فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Keep certain messages within one's own family
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how important it is to keep messages within family. The Prophet sent Abu Bakr with an announcement of Bara'ah which was a declaration to publicize the disavowal of idolaters. However, he later realized that only a man from his family should deliver this message and so called for 'Ali instead. This hadith teaches us that it is important to keep certain messages within our families and not share them with outsiders as they may not understand or appreciate them in the same way we do. It also shows us how much respect and importance the Prophet gave to his own family by entrusting them with such an important task.
