הָאוֹמֵר לַחֲבֵרוֹ (טו) אֵיזֶה דָּבָר, אָסוּר לוֹ לְסַפֵּר אַחַר כָּךְ לַאֲחֵרִים, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן נָתַן לוֹ רְשׁוּת עַל זֶה, וְדַוְקָא אִם הוּא דָּבָר דְּלֵית בֵּה לִישָׁנָא בִּישָׁא {שאין בו לשון הרע}.

**Chofetz Chaim, Silverstein translation:**
If one tells his friend anything, he is forbidden to repeat it to others, unless he gave him permission to do so. And this, only if it contains no lashon hara.
