The public disclosure mentioned by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in the hadith agreed upon by Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, means that a man commits an act at night, and Allah has concealed it for him, then he wakes up and says: "Last night I did such and such," thereby revealing Allah’s concealment from him. Therefore, a person should not mention the sins that Allah has concealed for him.
