2. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad from al- Hassan ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Once I asked him (abu ‘Abd Allah) ‘Is it unlawful to publicize the secrets and privacy of a believer before another believer?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, it is unlawful.’ I then asked, ‘Do you thereby (privacy) mean his two lower organs (anus and genitals)?’ The Imam said, ‘It is not what you thought it is. It is to publicize his secrets and private matters.’”
