Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4636 — he used to read Our hearts are ghuluf
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ قَالَ : نَا أَبِي قَالَ : نَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ : ( قُلُوبُنَا غُلُفٌ مُثَقَّلَةً ) : أَوْعِيَةٌ لِلْحِكْمَةِ قَالَ : I " قَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ حِينَ دَعَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيَتَعَلَّمُوا الْحِكْمَةَ : كَيْفَ نَتَعَلَّمُ وَقُلُوبُنَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ غُلُفٌ مُحْكَمَةٌ ؟ أَيْ : أَوْعِيَةٌ لِلْحِكْمَةِ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ إِلَّا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ I " .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he used to read "Our hearts are ghuluf" with the heavy reading (muthaqqalah, that is, ghulufun with a dammah on the lam), meaning: containers of wisdom.
He said: "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) invited the Jews to learn wisdom, they said: 'How can we learn (more) when our hearts are ghulufun muhkamah (sealed containers)?' That is: they are containers (full) of wisdom."
Only Sulayman bin Arqam (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this hadith from Imam al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him), and Abbas bin Fadl (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
