(2). 3249. 'Abdullāh said: "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 Thaqaif, or a man from Thaqaif and two of his brothers-in-law from the 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 Allāh 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.'" 'Abdullāh said: "I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, so Allāh revealed: 'And you have not been hiding yourselves, lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against...' you up to His saying: '...and you have become of those utterly lost!'"[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan [Ṣaḥīḥ]. (Another chain) with similar.
