حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ مُسْتَتِرًا بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ كَثِيرٌ شَحْمُ بُطُونِهِمْ،‏‏‏‏ قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُ قُلُوبِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُرَشِيٌّ وَخَتَنَاهُ ثَقَفِيَّانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ ثَقَفِيٌّ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَكَلَّمُوا بِكَلَامٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَرَوْنَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَنَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَال الْآخَرُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّا إِذَا رَفَعْنَا أَصْوَاتَنَا سَمِعَهُ وَإِذَا لَمْ نَرْفَعْ أَصْوَاتَنَا لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ سَمِعَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا سَمِعَهُ كُلَّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَال عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلا جُلُودُكُمْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ سورة فصلت آية 23 . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Narrated 'Abdullah: I was hiding beneath the covering of the Ka'bah, and three men came along - a man from the Quraish, and two of his brothers-in-law from Thaqif, or a man from Thaqif and two of his brothers-in-law from Quraish. Their bellies were fat, and they did not have much understanding. They said something that I could not understand, then one of them said: 'Do you think that Allah can hear what we are talking about?' Another said: 'If we raise our voices, He will hear it, but if we do not raise our voices, He will not hear it.' The other one said: 'If He can hear something from us, then He can hear all of it.' 'Abdullah said: I mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ), so Allah revealed: 'And you have not been hiding yourselves, lest your ears and your eyes and your skin should testify against you...' up to His saying: '...and you have become of those utterly lost! (42:22 & 23)
