Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 10096 — I was hiding behind the coverings

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ التَّمَّارُ، وَأَبُو خَلِيفَةَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، قَالَا: ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَا: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: " إِنِّي لَمُسْتَتِرٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ إِذْ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ؛ ثَقَفِيٌّ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ، كَثِيرٌ شَحْمُ بُطُونِهِمْ، قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُهُمْ، فَتَحَدَّثُوا الْحَدِيثَ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ: تَرَى اللهَ يَسْمَعُ مَا قُلْنَا؟ قَالَ الْآخَرُ: إِذَا رَفَعْنَا يَسْمَعُ، وَإِذَا خَفَضْنَا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ، فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: إِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا خَفَضْنَا، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {وَمَا كُنْتُمُ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ وَلَكِنْ ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنَّ اللهَ لَا يَعْلَمُ كَثِيرًا مِمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ} [فصلت: ٢٢] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ} [فصلت: ٢٣] ". هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، وَخَالَفَهُ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَصْحَابُ الْأَعْمَشِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "I was hiding behind the coverings of the Ka'bah when three men came: a man of Thaqif and his two sons-in-law of Quraysh, whose bellies were full of fat but whose understanding was little. They talked among themselves, and one of them said: 'Do you think Allah hears what we say?' Another said: 'When we speak aloud He hears, and when we speak quietly He does not hear.' The third said: 'If He hears when we speak aloud, then He will also hear when we speak quietly.' So I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned that to him, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: 'And you were not concealing yourselves lest your hearing, your sight and your skins should testify against you, but you assumed that Allah does not know much of what you do' [Surah Fussilat: 22] up to 'among the losers' [Surah Fussilat: 23]."
Sufyan al-Thawri narrated it in this way, while Abu Mu'awiyah and the other students of al-A'mash differed from him.
