4728. Abū Yūnus Sulaim bin Jubair, the freed slave of Abū Hurairah, said: "I heard Abū Hurairah recite this Verse: 'Verily, Allāh commands that you should render back the trusts to those to whom they are due; and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice. Verily, how excellent is the teaching which He (Allāh) gives you! Truly, Allāh is Ever All-Hearer, All-Seer.'[2] He said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ place his thumb on his ear, and his forefinger on his eye.' Abū Hurairah said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ reciting it and placing his fingers thus.'" Ibn Yūnus (one of the narrators) said: "Al-Muqri' said: 'Meaning that Allāh is All-Hearer, All-Seer, meaning, Allāh has hearing and sight.'" (Saḥih) Abū Dāwūd said: This is a refutation of the Jahmiyyah.
