السيوطي:٤-١٣٨١b

"عنِ ابْنِ سيرِين قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِىٌّ: أَىُّ آيَة أَوْسَعُ؟ فَجَعَلوا يَذْكُروُنَ آيَات مِنَ الْقُرآنِ {وَمَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ} الآية ونحوهًا، فَقَالَ عَلىٌّ: مَا فِى الْقُرْآنِ آيَةٌ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ {يَاعِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ} الآية ".  

ابن جرير
