أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْدَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْعَنَزِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ :" كُنْتُ أَجْلِسُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَكْتُبُ فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ حَتَّى تَمْتَلِئَ، ثُمَّ أَقْلِبُ نَعْلَيَّ فَأَكْتُبُ فِي ظُهُورِهِمَا "

Malik bin Ismail told us, Mandal bin Ali Al-Anazi told us, Ja’far bin Abi Al-Mughirah told me, on the authority of Sa’id bin Jubayr, he said: “ I used to sit with Ibn Abbas and write in the newspaper until it was full, then I would turn my sandals around and write on the backs of them.”
