Narrated 'Abdullah: "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 Thaqif, or a man from Thaqif and two of his brothers-in-law from 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 Allah 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'." 'Abdullah said: "I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, so Allah revealed: 'And you have not been hiding yourselves, lest your ears and your eyes and your skin should testify against you'. up to His saying: '.and you have become of those utterly lost! (42:22 & 23)"
This hadith also teaches us to have faith in God's power and knowledge; no matter how small or insignificant something may seem to us, it is still known by Him and He has control over it all. We must never forget this fact as it will help guide us through life with a sense of humility and respect for His greatness.
