Two People Conversing Privately to the Exclusion of a Third

This is the third article for us to remember from the same book. Continue of the previous article...

This is one of the problems that exist in social gatherings, and it is one of the ways in which the Shaytaan divides Muslims and make some of them hate others. The Prophet (PBUH) explained the rule and wisdom behind it: “If you are three, then two should not converse privately to the exclusion of a third until you are joined by other people because this will make him sad.” This also includes three people talking privately to the exclusion of a fourth and so on and two people speaking in a language which the third does not understand because this is undoubtedly a form of disdain towards the third and gives the impression that they intend to hurt him etc.
