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: 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 [سورة يونس آية 94]، قال: فَقَالَ لي: إِذَا وَجَدْتَ فِي نَفْسِكَ شَيْئًا، فَقُلْ: هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ، وَالْآخِرُ، وَالظَّاهِرُ، وَالْبَاطِنُ، وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ .

Warding off waswasah
I asked Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما, saying: What is that I find in my breast? He asked: What is it? I replied: I swear by Allah, I cannot speak about it. He asked me: Is it something doubtful? and he laughed. He then said: No one could escape that, until Allah, the exalted, revealed: If thou went in doubt as to what we have revealed unto thee, and ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee. He said: If you find something in your heart, say: He is the first and the Last, the Evident and the Immanent, and He has full knowledge of all things.
