Sunan Abi Dawud 4728 (Book 42, Hadith 133) #25019
The Power of Allah to Hear & See All Things

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the power of Allah to hear and see all things, and how the Prophet (PBUH) demonstrated this by putting his thumb on his ear and finger on his eye.

Abu Yunus Sulaim b. Jubair, client of Abu Hurairah, said : I heard Abu Hurairah recite this verse : "Allah doth command you to render back your trusts to those to whom they are due" up to "For Allah is he who heareth and seeth all things". He said : I saw the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) putting his thumb on his ear and finger on his eye. Abu Hurairah said : I saw the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) reciting this verse and putting his fingers. Ibn Yunus said that al-Muqri said".Allah hears and sees" means that Allah has the power of hearing and seeing. Abu Dawud said: This is a refutation of the Jahmiyyah.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ النَّسَائِيُّ، - الْمَعْنَى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عِمْرَانَ - حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو يُونُسَ، سُلَيْمُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ ‏{‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الأَمَانَاتِ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا ‏}‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى ‏{‏ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا ‏}‏ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَضَعُ إِبْهَامَهُ عَلَى أُذُنِهِ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا عَلَى عَيْنِهِ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ‏.‏ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقْرَؤُهَا وَيَضَعُ إِصْبَعَيْهِ قَالَ ابْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ الْمُقْرِئُ يَعْنِي ‏{‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ ‏}‏ يَعْنِي أَنَّ لِلَّهِ سَمْعًا وَبَصَرًا ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذَا رَدٌّ عَلَى الْجَهْمِيَّةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the power of Allah to hear and see all things. It was narrated by Abu Yunus Sulaim b. Jubair, a client of Abu Hurairah who heard him recite a verse from the Quran which states that Allah commands us to return trusts back to their rightful owners as He hears and sees all things. To demonstrate this point, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) put his thumb on his ear and finger on his eye as a sign that He has both hearing and sight powers over everything in existence. This hadith also serves as a refutation against those who deny these attributes of God known as Jahmiyyah.
