أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ التَّاجِرُ ثنا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {مَا يَلْفِظُ مِنْ قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ} [ق 18] قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «إِنَّمَا يَكْتُبُ الْخَيْرَ وَالشَّرَّ لَا يَكْتُبُ يَا غُلَامُ أَسْرِجِ الْفَرَسَ وَيَا غُلَامُ اسْقِنِي الْمَاءَ إِنَّمَا يَكْتُبُ الْخَيْرَ وَالشَّرَّ»
