The questioner : Our Shaykh, regarding the first opinion, we said that with respect to the bequest, because... with respect to the first opinion at the end of the bequest, this man who bequeathed that his secret not be spread, if he spoke and this man, who was bequeathed the benefit, and it became widespread, then it would lead to showing off (riya') in others, that they are doing it.
The Shaykh : Thawru.
The questioner : Oh, ha.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : It means a trial (fitnah) for the living. Sometimes. So from this angle too, it is not easy, I mean, on the hearts of people.
Another questioner : This matter. This angle, this.
The questioner : It is on the side of the others. May Allah reward you, Shaykh, you often do not focus on this matter.
Another questioner: Correct.
The Shaykh : Yes.
