Question:
His other question says: What is the benefit expected from his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
When you are three persons sitting together, then no two of you should hold secret counsel excluding the third person until you are with some other people tooإذا كنتم ثلاثة فلا يتناجى رجلان دون الآخر حتى تختلطوا بالناس
Sahih al-Bukhari 6290
?

Answer:
Yes, if they are, if they are two men, if they are two men, then two should not whisper to the exclusion of the third. If they are three, then two of them should not whisper to the exclusion of the third, because this causes the third to have a bad opinion of them, and he thinks that they are whispering about him and speaking about him in a way that harms or diminishes him. So if you are with people, there is no harm, but when there are three, two should not whisper to the exclusion of the third in order to eliminate bad suspicions among them. Yes.
