Sahih Bukhari 4538

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ , أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ , عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ , سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ 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 اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فِيمَ تَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ نَزَلَتْ أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ سورة البقرة آية 266 ؟ قَالُوا : اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ ، فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ , فَقَالَ : قُولُوا : نَعْلَمُ أَوْ لَا نَعْلَمُ , فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : فِي نَفْسِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ , قَالَ عُمَرُ : يَا ابْنَ أَخِي قُلْ وَلَا 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 .

Narrated Ubaid bin Umair: Once `Umar (bin Al-Khattab) said to the companions of the Prophet What do you think about this Verse:-- Does any of you wish that he should have a garden? They replied, Allah knows best. `Umar became angry and said, Either say that you know or say that you do not know! On that Ibn `Abbas 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 under estimate yourself. Ibn `Abbas said, This Verse has been set up as an example for deeds. `Umar said, What kind of deeds? Ibn `Abbas said, For deeds. `Umar said, This is an example for a rich man who does goods out of obedience of Allah and then Allah sends him Satan whereupon he commits sins till all his good deeds are lost.
