Arabic (Original)
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.
English Translation
'Abd al-Rahman narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from 'Abd Allah ibn Dinar, who said: I was with Ibn 'Umar, myself and another man. He called yet another man over, then said: 'You two go back a bit,' for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade two from conversing privately excluding a third.
