حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ يَحْيَی قَالَ کَانَ حُذَيْفَةُ إِذَا مَاتَ لَهُ الْمَيِّتُ قَالَ لَا تُؤْذِنُوا بِهِ أَحَدًا إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَکُونَ نَعْيًا إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُذُنَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ يَنْهَی عَنْ النَّعْيِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1476
It was narrated that Bilal bin Yahya said: "If one of the members of his family died, Hudhaifah would say: 'Do not inform anyone of it, for I am afraid that that would be a public death announcement. I heard the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H with these two ears of mine forbidding making public death announcements:" (Da'if)
