Al-Kafi, volume 1, page 285:
Abi al-Hasan [al-Kadhim] عليه السلام said:
“O Aba Muhammad, neither the speech of any of mankind nor bird nor livestock nor anything that has a soul is hidden from the Imam.
And whomever does not have these traits, he is not an Imam.”

Reminds me of this verse where Hafsa was shocked that Prophet was aware of her speech / actions with Aisha - which he received knowledge about from God
“And when he informed her about it, she said, "Who told you this?"
He said, "I was informed by the Knowing, the Aware." (66:3)
“And when he informed her about it, she said, "Who told you this?"
He said, "I was informed by the Knowing, the Aware." (66:3)
It is interesting to note in the Quran that for example, while Allah may hidden the identities of munafiqeen (9:127).
He never hid their speech from the Prophet - even if it’s something they said inside their hearts:
“And say within themselves, "Why does Allah not punish us
He never hid their speech from the Prophet - even if it’s something they said inside their hearts:
“And say within themselves, "Why does Allah not punish us
for what we say?" (58:8)
Note:
I believe ‘fi anfusihim’ (within their selves / souls) refers to a person’s heart - as in this verse. (11:31)
Not meaning ‘among each other’ - where ‘li anfusihim’ would be used.. not ‘fi’.
Wa Allahu A’lam
