حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ مُسْتَتِرًا بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَجَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ ثَقَفِيٌّ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ، كَثِيرٌ شَحْمُ بُطُونِهِمْ قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُ قُلُوبِهِمْ. قَالَ: فَتَحَدَّثُوا بَيْنَهُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ: أَتُرَى اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَسْمَعُ مَا نَقُولُ؟ قَالَ الْآخَرُ: يَسْمَعُ مَا رَفَعْنَا، وَمَا خَفَضْنَا لَا يَسْمَعُ. قَالَ الْآخَرُ: إِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ يَسْمَعُهُ كُلَّهُ. قَالَ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ: وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ. إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: فَمَا هُمْ مِنَ الْمُعْتَبِينَ

✧ I was hiding behind the curtains of the Kaaba when three men came: a Thaqafi and his two Qurayshi in-laws, with much fat on their bellies and little understanding in their hearts. They conversed among themselves, and one of them said, 'Do you think God hears what we say?' Another said, 'He hears what we raise, but not what we lower.' The other said, 'If He hears anything, He hears all of it.' He said: I mentioned that to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and it was revealed: 'You were not hiding yourselves lest your ears, eyes, and skins testify against you' up to His saying, 'and they are not of those who are excused.'
