The answer

Speaking about Allah's blessings is a religious requirement, as Allah Almighty says: "But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it]," and as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Speaking about Allah's blessing is gratitude." However, if one fears envy, they may conceal it, just as Jacob, peace be upon him, did with Joseph, peace be upon him: "He said, 'O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers, lest they concoct a plot against you.'" This is a fundamental principle for the permissibility of not displaying a blessing and concealing it when fearing envy and plotting.
