Aisha's hadith: "And whoever claims that Muhammad concealed something he was commanded to convey—by the implication of the opposite, if he was not commanded to convey it, is it permissible for the Messenger to conceal it?"

The questioner : Aisha's hadith
And whoever claimed that Muhammad hid anything that Allah revealed to him ومن زعم أن محمدا كتم شيئا امر بتبليغه
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3068Sahih (Darussalam)
By the implication of the opposite, if he was not commanded to convey it, is it permissible for the Messenger to conceal it?

The Shaykh : First, the implication of the opposite is not always and forever used as evidence. Second, it can be said that what has no relation to the Shari'ah, which he did not convey, can be said to be so, because of his statement in the previous verse:
O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message يا أيها الرسول بلغ ما أنزل إليك من ربك وإن لم تفعل فما بلغت رسالته
[Al-Ma'idah 5:67]
