Is the Hadith, "Seek help in the fulfillment of your needs by being discreet, for everyone who is blessed is envied," authentically from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and where can it be found?
The , "Seek help in achieving your needs through secrecy, for every person of blessing is envied," was narrated by Al-Tabarani, Al-Bayhaqi, and others through multiple chains of transmission. Some scholars, such as Ibn Abi Hatim, Ibn Al-Jawzi, Al-Iraqi, and Al-Suyuti, deemed it weak. Al-Haythami mentioned that its chain includes Sa'id ibn Salam Al-Attar, whom Ahmad considered a liar, and that Khalid ibn Ma'dan did not hear from Mu'adh. However, Al-Albani authenticated it in "Al-Silsilah Al-Sahihah" and " Al-Jami'," relying on the chain of transmission of Sahl ibn Abd Al-Rahman Al-Jurjani from Abu Hurayrah, describing this chain as "good."
