ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ سَمِعَهُ الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى فَقَطْ
[Machine] "I was hidden behind the cover of the Ka'aba when three Khath'ami people arrived, who were well-off but lacked knowledge. They began to engage in conversation among themselves. One of them said, 'Do you think Allah hears what we say?' Another said, 'When we raise our voices, He hears us, but when we lower our voices, He does not.' The third one said, 'If He hears us when we raise our voices, then He hears us when we lower them.' I then went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about this, so Allah revealed the verse, 'And you were not covering yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins.''"
إِنِّي لَمُسْتَتِرٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ إِذْ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ ثَقَفِيٌّ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ كَثِيرٌ شَحْمُ بُطُونِهِمْ قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُهُمْ فَتَحَدَّثُوا الْحَدِيثَ بَيْنَهُمْ فقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَتَرَى اللَّهَ يَسْمَعُ مَا قُلْنَا؟ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا سَمِعَ وَإِذَا خَفَضْنَا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا خَفَضْنَا فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ «{وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ}» الْآيَةَ
