How many of us when we hear something very good, we're quick to tell everyone. When we hear something bad, we're quick to tell everyone not realizing some people might destroy your goodness, because you told them and some people might celebrate at the loss or the fear you have, and they might cause greater harm against you, because you told them, You did not know how to process the news that you got. So if you want comfort, you can avoid the crisis by not telling everyone everything. You need to be slightly secretive about certain things, number one, number two is you need to know if you are going to say to someone whom you are going to say to, you need to choose

And it's speaking about hypocrites and the way they process news and what they do with it, but the lesson is for every one of us, remember when you tell people things Who are you telling? And what are you telling them? Are you sure that you want this person to know this particular piece of information? You're sure it's not going to harm you. It's not going to be dangerous in one way or another. Allah says, protect yourselves by knowing who you should be talking to and what you should be saying.
