Which document did you read?  ri says:

  call-seq:
    array.eql?(other)  => true or false
 
  Returns <code>true</code> if _array_ and _other_ are the same object,
  or are both arrays with the same content.

Array#eql? does not use Array#hash at all for comparison.  Hash
assumes hash values to be same when eql? is true (but not reverse).
