Safe Guarding the Trust of a Meeting

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from Zurara from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Meetings are a trust (that attendants must not violate).”

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “The meetings are trusts. No one must make public anything that one’s companion does not want to be made public unless it is with his permission, or he is trusted and does it only for his good.”
