1959. Jābir bin 'Abdullāh narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "When a man narrates a narration, then he looks around, then it is a trust." (Ḥasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan. We only know of it as a narration of Ibn Abī Dhi'b.
١٩٥٩ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا حَدَّثَ الرَّجُلُ الْحَدِيثَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ فَهِيَ أَمَانَةٌ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَإِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ.

If a man looks sideways after having said something, it means he wants to keep it a secret from others. The one confided to should not, therefore, divulge the secret to anyone else.
