حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَدَعَا رَجُلًا آخَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْتَرْخِيَا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى أَنْ يَنْتَجِيَ اثْنَانِ دُونَ وَاحِدٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5281
It was narrated that ibn Dinar said: I was with lbn 'Umar, myself and another man. He called another mart, then he said: Now move away a little, because the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) forbade two to converse privately to the exclusion of one.
