حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ سُئِلَ عَنْ عِلْمٍ فَكَتَمَهُ أَلْجَمَهُ اللَّهُ بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نَارٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: He who is asked something he knows and conceals it will have a bridle of fire put on him on the Day of Resurrection.

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি জানা ইলম সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞাসিত হয়ে তা গোপন করলো, কিয়ামতের দিন মহান আল্লাহ তাকে আগুনের লাগাম পরিয়ে দিবেন।[1] হাসান সহীহ।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: جس سے کوئی دین کا مسئلہ پوچھا گیا اور اس نے اسے چھپا لیا تو اللہ تعالیٰ قیامت کے دن اسے آگ کی لگام پہنائے گا ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musa bin Isma'il] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ali bin Al Hakam] dari ['Atha] dari [Abu Hurairah] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Barangsiapa ditanya mengenai suatu ilmu dan ia menyembunyikannya, maka ia akan dicambuk dengan cambuk dari api neraka pada hari kiamat

Ebu Hureyre(r.a)'den rivayet olunduğuna göre, Rasulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurmuştur: "Bir kimse kendisinden sorulan bir meseleyi gizler de cevap vermezse, Allah, kıyamet gününde ona ateşten bir gem vurur." Diğer tahric: Tirmizî, ilim; İbn Mace, mukaddime; Ahmed b. Hanbel, II

What it means

This Hadīth carries a stern warning about the concealment of knowledge and that if a person is asked about something that concerns the questioner as regards his religious matters, and he is duty-bound to answer him, yet he fails to answer and clarify the matter to him, Allah, the Almighty, will punish him in the Hereafter by putting a bridle of fire over his mouth.

However, if the questioner poses the question for some other reason, like testing the one he asks, the asked one has the choice to answer him or not, without falling under the warning set out in the Hadīth.
