Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The keeper of the Prophet's secrets, peace and blessings be upon him, was Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, may Allah be pleased with him. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that he said to Khaythama: "And Hudhayfah was his confidant." And from Abu al-Darda' that he said to 'Alqama: "Is there not among you the keeper of the Prophet's secret, peace and blessings be upon him, which no one else knows?" Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar clarified that the intended secret was what the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, informed him about the affairs of the hypocrites.
