Chapter 48 · Chapter on Tafsirحَدَّثَنَا 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!
