Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى إِذَا كَانَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ أَنْ يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ الثَّالِثِ.
English Translation
Yunus told us, Layth told us, from Nafi', that Abdullah ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to forbid that, when there were three people, two of them should converse privately excluding the third.
