Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1922 — Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I

Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I was with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) when a man came to him and said: "O Abu Abbas! What do you say about me?" He said: "What could I say about you?" The man said: "I am someone who works with the pen (a scribe)." Then Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'On the Day of Resurrection the one who worked with the pen (the scribe) will be brought, shut inside a chest (coffin) of fire with locks of fire upon it. If he used that pen in obedience to Allah and in what pleases Him, the chest will be opened from around him; but if he used it in disobedience to Allah, the chest will plunge with him (into Hell) for a distance of seventy years; even the one who sharpened the pen and the one who put the liqah (the ink-absorbing fibre) in the inkwell will meet the same fate.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one besides Isma'il bin Ayyash (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith from Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him), and Abu Yusuf (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it from him."
