Sahih Muslim 2482a (Book 44, Hadith 208) #13459
Keeping Secrets of Allah's Messenger

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a mother teaching her son to keep the secrets of Allah's Messenger.

Anas reported: Allah's Messenger came to me as I was playing with playmates. He greeted and sent me on an errand and I made delay in going to my mother. When I came to her she said: What detained you? I said: Allah's Messenger sent me on an errand. She said: What was the purpose? I said: It is something secret. thereupon she said: Do not then divulge the secret of Allah's Messenger to anyone. Anas said: By Allah, if I were to divulge it to anyone, then, O Thabit, I would have divulged it to you.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ أَتَى عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا أَلْعَبُ مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ - قَالَ - فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا فَبَعَثَنِي إِلَى حَاجَةٍ فَأَبْطَأْتُ عَلَى أُمِّي فَلَمَّا جِئْتُ قَالَتْ مَا حَبَسَكَ قُلْتُ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِحَاجَةٍ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ مَا حَاجَتُهُ قُلْتُ إِنَّهَا سِرٌّ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ لاَ تُحَدِّثَنَّ بِسِرِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا ‏.‏ قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ حَدَّثْتُ بِهِ أَحَدًا لَحَدَّثْتُكَ يَا ثَابِتُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a young boy named Anas who was playing with his friends when he was sent on an errand by Allah's messenger. When he returned, his mother asked him why he was delayed and he told her that it was because of the secret mission given to him by Allah's messenger. His mother then taught him to never reveal the secrets of Allah's messenger to anyone else. This hadith teaches us that we should always obey and respect the orders given by our elders, especially those from Allah’s messenger, and never reveal their secrets or delay in carrying out their orders. We should also be mindful not to divulge any information that has been entrusted upon us as it could lead to serious consequences.
