I know they said he couldn’t read or write, but what if he kept it a secret?
Answer:
Allah Ta’ala says in the Noble Qur’aan, ?And man is a big disputer?.
In view of the disputant nature of man, it is advisable to apply wisdom and diplomacy in conveying the truth. Lack of wisdom and diplomacy in conveying the truth may have negative consequences, for example, branding truthful ones as causing Fitnah, etc.
And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
