حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ نَصْرٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ النَّسَائِيُّ الْمَعْنَى قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عِمْرَانَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو يُونُسَ سُلَيْمُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ { إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الأَمَانَاتِ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا } إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى { سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا } قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَضَعُ إِبْهَامَهُ عَلَى أُذُنِهِ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا عَلَى عَيْنِهِ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَؤُهَا وَيَضَعُ إِصْبَعَيْهِ

I heard Abu Hurairah recite this verse: “Allah doth command you to render back your trusts to those to whom they are due” up to “For Allah is he who heareth and seeth all things”. He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) putting his thumb on his ear and finger on his eye. Abu Hurairah said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) reciting this verse and putting his fingers. Ibn Yunus said that al-Muqri said. “Allah hears and sees” means that Allah has the power of hearing and seeing. Abu Dawud said: This is a refutation of the Jahmiyyah.
