ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ حِفْظِ الْقَلْبِ وَالتَّعَاهُدِ لِأَعْمَالِ السِّرِّ إِذِ الْأَسْرَارُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ غَيْرُ مَكْتُومَةٍ
[Machine] "I was covered with the covering of the Kaaba, and in the mosque, there was a man from Thaqeef, whom the Quraysh people circumcised. They said, 'Do you think that Allah hears our conversation?' One of them said, 'Indeed, He hears us when we raise our voices.' Another man said, 'If He hears us when we raise our voices, then He would also hear us if we lower our voices.' And the other man said, 'I can only see that Allah hears our conversation.' Ibn Mas'ud said, 'So I went to the Prophet of Allahﷺ and informed him of their statement. Then Allah revealed the verse, 'And you were not covering yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins' until the end of the verse.'"
كُنْتُ مُسْتَتِرًا بِحِجَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَفِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ فَقَالُوا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْمَعُ حَدِيثَنَا؟ فقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنَّهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا فقَالَ رَجُلٌ لَئِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا لَيَسْمَعَنَّ إِذَا أَخْفَيْنَا وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ مَا أَرَى إِلَّا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْمَعُ حَدِيثَنَا قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَتَيْتُ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
