5110. Abü Zumail said: "I asked Ibn 'Abbas: 'What is this that I find in my heart?' He said: 'What is it?' I said: 'By Allah, I cannot speak of it.' He said to me: 'Is it some kind of doubt?' And he smiled, and said: 'No one can escape that. Allah says: So if you are in doubt concerning that which We have revealed unto you, then ask those who are reading the Book.'['] And he said to me: 'If you feel anything in your heart, say: He is the First (nothing is before Him) and the Last (nothing is after Him), the Most High (nothing is above Him) and the Most Near (nothing is nearer than Him). And He is the All-Knower of every thing."' [21 (Hasan)

5110 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ: مَا شَيْءٌ أَجِدُهُ فِي صَدْرِي؟ قَالَ: مَا هُوَ؟ قُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ مَا أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِي: «أَشَيْءٌ مِنْ شَكٍّ؟» قَالَ: وَضَحِكَ، قَالَ: «مَا نَجَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَحَدٌ»، قَالَ: حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {فَإِنْ كُنْتَ فِي شَكٍّ مِمَّا أَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ فَاسْأَلِ الَّذِينَ يَقْرَءُونَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ} الْآيَةَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِي: «إِذَا وَجَدْتَ فِي نَفْسِكَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْ» {هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ} [الحديد: 3]
