The hadith of Abu Hurayrah regarding the two vessels and whether it is withholding knowledge

Question:
He says: Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Is this withholding knowledge?

Answer:
No, they said that the sack he did not explain was the hadiths concerning trials, the hadiths that were reported regarding trials. If he had explained them to the people, there would have been a danger that they would kill him. The oppressors would kill him. Withholding knowledge, when it is to avert a greater harm, is withheld. The principle regarding knowledge is that it is obligatory to disseminate it, except when necessity calls for its concealment. For this reason, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do you not know what is the right? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You do not know, O Mu'adh, ? He said: I said, Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: . Mu'adh said: Should I not inform the people? Meaning that Allah does not punish one who does not associate anything with Him. He said: They become lax in sins and say, "As long as it is not shirk, the matter is easy." They become lax in sins and disobedience. So he ordered him to conceal this matter so that its dissemination would not lead to people becoming lax, relying on the aspect of hope, and abandoning the aspect of fear. If explaining a piece of knowledge leads to greater harm, it is concealed. 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: So matters that people's minds cannot bear should not be brought to them, even if they are the truth, lest they deny them. If they deny them, they deny Allah and His Messenger. People are given [knowledge] according to their comprehension and according to what they understand, and they are not given something they do not understand, but rather they are progressed with gradually, bit by bit. Yes.
