اخبرناه ابو زكريا العنبري، حدثنا إبراهيم بن إسحاق، حدثنا محمد ابن سهل بن عسكر، حدثنا محمد بن يوسف، حدثنا قيس بن الربيع، عن الاعمش، عن جعفر بن إياس، عن سعيد بن جبير، عن ابن عباس في قوله: ﴿ولتجدنهم احرص الناس على حياة﴾ قال: هم هؤلاء اهل الكتاب ﴿ومن الذين اشركوا يود احدهم لو يعمر الف سنة وما هو بمزحزحه من العذاب ان يعمر﴾ (البقرة: 96] قال: هو قول احدهم لصاحبه هزار سال نيروز مهرجان بخور (1).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah: "And you will surely find them the most eager of people for life", that he said: "It refers to these People of the Book." And concerning "and (even more than) those who associate others with Allah. Each one of them wishes that he could be given a life of a thousand years, but it would not remove him from the punishment that he should be given life" [Surah al-Baqarah: 96] , he said that it refers to their (the non-Arab polytheists') saying to their companion: "A thousand years, Nowruz and Mihrajan (may they be blessed and long for you)."

Reference / Source: Al-Tabari recorded something similar in his "Tafsir" 1/429 by way of al-A'mash from Mujahid from Ibn 'Abbas, and in it is (the mention of) "Nowruz Mihrajan".
وأخرجه بنحوه الطبري في "تفسيره" 1/ 429 من طريق الأعمش، عن مجاهد، عن ابن عبَّاس. وفيه نوروز مهرجان.
Note / Clarification: (The word in the text) "بخور": this is how it came in our manuscripts, and our strong presumption is that the correct word is "بَختْوَر", whose meaning, according to "al-Mu'jam al-Dhahabi" p. 102, is: fortunate, lucky (al-sa'id al-mahzuz).
وبخور: كذا جاء في نسخنا الخطية، ويغلب على ظننا أنَّ الصواب: بَختْوَر، ومعناه كما في "المعجم الذهبي" ص 102: السعيد المحظوظ.
