4538. Narrated 'Ubaid bin 'Umar: Once 'Umar (bin Al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه) said to the Companions of the Prophet, "What do you think about this Verse: 'Would any of you wish to have a garden?'" They replied, "Allāh knows better." 'Umar became angry and said, "Either say that you know or say that you do not know!" On that Ibn 'Abbās said, "O chief of the believers! I have something in my mind to say about it." 'Umar said, "O son of my brother! Say, and do not underestimate yourself." Ibn 'Abbās said, "In this Verse there has been put forward an example for deeds." 'Umar said, "What kind of deeds? Ibn 'Abbās said, "For deeds." 'Umar said, "This is an example for a rich man who does good deeds out of obedience to Allāh and then Allāh sends him Satan whereupon he commits sins till all his good deeds are lost."

4538 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُ أَخَاهُ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَوْمًا لِأَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: فِيمَ تَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ نَزَلَتْ: {أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ} [البقرة: 266]؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ، فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ: «قُولُوا نَعْلَمُ أَوْ لاَ نَعْلَمُ»، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فِي نَفْسِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: «يَا ابْنَ أَخِي قُلْ وَلاَ تَحْقِرْ نَفْسَكَ»، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: ضُرِبَتْ مَثَلًا لِعَمَلٍ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: «أَيُّ عَمَلٍ؟» قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: لِعَمَلٍ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: «لِرَجُلٍ غَنِيٍّ يَعْمَلُ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ لَهُ الشَّيْطَانَ، فَعَمِلَ بِالْمَعَاصِي حَتَّى أَغْرَقَ أَعْمَالَهُ»
