حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
إِنِّي لَمُسْتَتِرٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلَانِ ثَقَفِيَّانِ وَخَتَنُهُمَا قُرَشِيٌّ ( أَوْ قُرَشِيَّانِ ) وَخَتَنُهُمَا ثَقَفِيٌّ، كَثِيرَةٌ شُحُومُ بُطُونِهِمْ قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُ قُلُوبِهِمْ، فَتَحَدَّثُوا بِحَدِيثٍ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ: أَتُرَى اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَسْمَعُ مَا نَقُولُ؟ قَالَ الْآخَرُ: أُرَاهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا أَصْوَاتَنَا، وَلَا يَسْمَعُ إِذَا خَافَتْنَا. قَالَ الْآخَرُ: لَئِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُهُ كُلَّهُ. فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلا أَبْصَارُكُمْ الْآيَةَ

✧ I was hiding behind the curtains of the Kaaba when two Thaqafi men and their son-in-law, a Qurashi (or two Qurashi men and their son-in-law, a Thaqafi), entered. Their bellies were fat, but their hearts had little understanding. They conversed among themselves, and one of them said to his companion: 'Do you think that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, hears what we say?' The other said: 'I think He hears if we raise our voices, but does not hear if we speak softly.' The other said: 'If He hears anything of it, He hears all of it.' So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: 'And you were not covering yourselves, lest your hearing and your eyes should bear witness against you,' the verse.
