قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: لآتِيَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَعَنْ شَمَائِلِهِمْ قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ: لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَقُولَ: مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ، عَلِمَ أَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَوْقَهُمْ
