حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: كَانَ حُذَيْفَةُإِذَا مَاتَ لَهُ الْمَيِّتُ، قَالَ: لَا تُؤْذِنُوا بِهِ أَحَدًا، إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَعْيًا، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُذُنَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ: يَنْهَى عَنِ النَّعْيِ .

What was narrated concerning the prohibition of making public death announcements
“If one of the members of his family died, Hudhaifah رضی اللہ عنہ would say: ‘Do not inform anyone of it, for I am afraid that that would be a public death announcement. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with these two ears of mine forbidding making public death announcements.’”
