وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْكُوفِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
كُنْتُ أَقُودُهُ فِي زُقَاقِ أَبِي لَهَبٍ، وَقَالَ: يَا كُرَيْبُ ! بَلَغْنَا مَكَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنْتَ الْآنَ عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ؓ قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ يَتَبَخْتَرُ فِي بُرْدَيْنِ وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى عِطْفَيْهِ قَدْ أَعْجَبَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ إِذْ خُسِفَ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْطِنِ، فَهُوَ يَتَجَلْجَلُ فِيهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ".

✧ I was leading him in the alley of Abu Lahab, and he said: O Kurayb! Have we reached such-and-such a place? I said: You are now at it. He said: Al-‘Abbas b. ‘Abd al-Muttalib ؓ narrated to me, saying: While I was with the Prophet ﷺ in this spot, a man came swaggering in two garments, looking at his two sides, having been impressed with himself, when the earth swallowed him in this very place, and he will be sinking in it until the Day of Resurrection."
