حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: نَا أَبُو يُوسُفَ الْجِيزِيُّ قَالَ: نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ مَا تَقُولُ فِيَّ ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا عَسَى أَنْ أَقُولَ فِيكَ ؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي عَامِلٌ بِقَلَمٍ. فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: يُؤْتَى بِصَاحِبِ الْقَلَمِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي تَابُوتٍ مِنْ نَارٍ مُقْفَلٍ عَلَيْهِ بَأَقْفَالٍ مِنْ نَارٍ، فَإِنْ كَانَ أَجْرَاهُ فِي طَاعَةِ اللهِ وَرِضْوَانِهِ فُكَّ عَنْهُ التَّابُوتُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ أَجْرَاهُ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ هَوَى بِهِ التَّابُوتُ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا، حَتَّى بَارِي الْقَلَمِ، وَلَايِقِ الدَّوَاةِ

✧ I was with Ibn Abbas, and a man came to him and said: O Abu Abbas, what do you say about me? He replied: What could I possibly say about you? The man said: I am an official who works with a pen. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: On the Day of Resurrection, the holder of the pen will be brought in a coffin of fire, locked with locks of fire. If he used it in obedience to Allah and seeking His pleasure, the coffin will be opened for him, but if he used it in disobedience to Allah, the coffin will plunge with him for seventy autumns, until the pen maker and the ink-pot maker.
