Sahih al-Bukhari 3033 (Book 56, Hadith 240) #2900
The Truth Revealed

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Ubai bin Ka'b visited Ibn Saiyyad, who was hiding under a velvet sheet. His mother recognized Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and if she had not said anything, the truth would have been clear.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar (ra): Once, Allah's Messenger accompanied by Ubai bin Ka'b set out to Ibn Saiyyad. He was informed that Ibn Saiyyad was in a garden of date palms. When Allah's Messenger entered the garden of date-palms, he started hiding himself behind the trunks of the palms while Ibn Saiyyad was covered with a velvet sheet with murmurs emanating from under it. Ibn Saiyyah's mother saw Allah's Messenger and said, "O Saf! This is Muhammad". So Ibn Saiyyad got up. Allah's Messenger said, "If she had left him (in his state), the truth would have been clear".
قَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ انْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَمَعَهُ أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ قِبَلَ ابْنِ صَيَّادٍ، فَحُدِّثَ بِهِ فِي نَخْلٍ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ النَّخْلَ، طَفِقَ يَتَّقِي بِجُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ، وَابْنُ صَيَّادٍ فِي قَطِيفَةٍ لَهُ فِيهَا رَمْرَمَةٌ، فَرَأَتْ أُمُّ ابْنِ صَيَّادٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا صَافِ، هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ، فَوَثَبَ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لَوْ تَرَكَتْهُ بَيَّنَ

Be Honest in your dealings with others .
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the truth being revealed when Allah’s Messenger ﷺ and Ubayy ibn Ka’b visited Ibn Saiyyad. Ibn Saiyyad was hiding under a velvet sheet, but his mother recognized Allah’s Messenger ﷺ and called out to him. If she hadn't said anything, the truth would have been clear without her saying it. This hadith teaches us that sometimes we don't need to say something for people to know what is true or right; it can be obvious without words being spoken. It also shows us that we should always be honest in our dealings with others so that the truth will be known even if we don't say it ourselves.
