He said, “I have indeed dived for it in a deep sea. Who are you?” He replied, “Saīd ibn Jubayr.” He said, “You already know.” Then he said, “He preserved favorable praise for him.”
١٨ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، نا الْحُسَيْنُ الْجُعْفِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، أَنَّ عِكْرِمَةَ، سُئِلَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَآتَيْنَاهُ أَجْرَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا﴾ [العنكبوت: ٢٧] قَالَ: «لَقَدْ غُصْتُ عَلَيْهَا فِي بَحْرٍ عَمِيقٍ فَمَنْ أَنْتَ؟» قَالَ: سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ: لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَبْقَى لَهُ ثَنَاءً حَسَنًا»
