أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْقَبَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُثْمَانَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،
قَالَ: " إِنَّكَ لَتَرَى الرَّجُلَ يَمْشِي فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ وَقَدْ سُمِعَ اسْمُهُ فِي الْمَوْتَى "، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنْذِرِينَ فِيهَا يُفَرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ} [الدخان: 4] " يَعْنِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ "، قَالَ: " فَفِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ يُفَرَقُ أَمْرُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى مِثْلِهَا مِنْ قَابِلٍ "
