حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مُسْتَتِرًا بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَجَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ قُرَشِيٌّ، وَخَتَنَاهُ ثَقَفِيَّانِ أَوْ ثَقَفِيٌّ، وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ، كَثِيرٌ شَحْمُ بُطُونِهِمْ، قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُ قُلُوبِهِمْ، فَتَكَلَّمُوا بِكَلَامٍ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ: أَتُرَوْنَ اللهَ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَنَا هَذَا، فَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ إِنَّا إِذَا رَفَعْنَا أَصْوَاتَنَا سَمِعَهُ، وَإِذَا لَمْ نَرْفَعْهَا لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ، فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: إِنْ سَمِعَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا سَمِعَهُ كُلَّهُ. قَالَ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلا جُلُودُكُمْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: وَذَلِكُمْ ظَنُّكُمُ الَّذِي ظَنَنْتُمْ بِرَبِّكُمْ أَرْدَاكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ.

✧ I was hiding behind the curtains of the Kaaba, and three men came: a Qurayshi and his two in-laws, Thaqafis—or a Thaqafi and his two Qurayshi in-laws—large of bellies and little of understanding. They spoke about something I did not hear. One of them said: “Do you think God hears our words now?” Another said: “If we raise our voices, He hears; if we do not raise them, He does not hear.” The third said: “If He hears any of it, He hears all of it.” I mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ, and God, Mighty and Majestic, sent down: “And you were not hiding yourselves lest your hearing, your sight, and your skins testify against you” until His saying: “And that was your assumption which you assumed about your Lord; it has brought you to ruin, and you have become among the losers.”
