Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And the next question is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Is there anything excluded from that?
The Shaykh : It appears to me that there is an exception, because what comes to mind from this hadith is what relates to worldly commercial matters, for every person of blessing is envied, and this is what the hadith addresses. As for concealing scientific means, for example, or the like, this is not permissible, because it falls under his saying (peace be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2649Hasan (Darussalam) And Allah knows best that it does not have a specific exception.
The questioner : Some students of knowledge used to memorize the Qur'an together. Does concealing that from people out of fear of showing off or the like fall under the hadith?
The Shaykh : No, it does not fall under the hadith.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware, yes.
The questioner : The next question.
