حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ قَالَ : نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ : نَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ .
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ I " يَرَى الِاسْتِثْنَاءَ وَلَوْ بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ : وَلا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَلِكَ غَدًا إِلا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللهُ وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ يَقُولُ : إِذَا ذَكَرْتَ ، فَقِيلَ لِلْأَعْمَشِ : سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ؟ فَقَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he held that the istithna' (saying 'in sha' Allah') is (valid and effective) even after a year. Then he recited this verse: "And never say of anything, 'Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,' except (adding), 'If Allah wills.' And remember your Lord when you forget." He said: "(That is,) when you remember."
Imam al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: "Did you hear this report from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him)?" He replied: "Layth (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it to me from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Abu Mu'awiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith from al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him), and Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in transmitting it."
