3168. Narrated Sa‘īd bin Jubair that he heard Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما saying, “Thursday! And (you know not) what Thursday is?” After that Ibn ‘Abbās wept till the stones on the ground were soaked with his tears. On that I asked Ibn ‘Abbās, “What is (about) Thursday?” He said, “When the condition (i.e., health) of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ deteriorated, he said, ‘Bring me a bone of scapula, so that I may write something for you after which you will never go astray.’ The people differed in their opinions, although it was improper to differ in front of a Prophet. They said, ‘What is wrong with him? Do you think he is delirious?’(1) Ask him (to understand).’ The Prophet ﷺ replied, ‘Leave me as I am in a better state than what you are asking me to do.’(2) Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered them to do three things saying, 'Turn out all Al-Mushrikūn from the Arabian Peninsula, show respect to all foreign delegates by giving them gifts as I used to do.' The subnarrator added, "The third order was something beneficial which either Ibn 'Abbās did not mention or he mentioned but I forgot."(1)

3168 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، يَقُولُ: يَوْمُ الخَمِيسِ وَمَا يَوْمُ الخَمِيسِ، ثُمَّ بَكَى حَتَّى بَلَّ دَمْعُهُ الحَصَى، قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ: مَا يَوْمُ الخَمِيسِ؟ قَالَ: اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَعُهُ، فَقَالَ: «ائْتُونِي بِكَتِفٍ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لاَ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا»، فَتَنَازَعُوا، وَلاَ يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَ نَبِيٍّ تَنَازُعٌ، فَقَالُوا: مَا لَهُ أَهَجَرَ اسْتَفْهِمُوهُ؟ فَقَالَ: «ذَرُونِي، فَالَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَنِي إِلَيْهِ»، فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِثَلاَثٍ، قَالَ: «أَخْرِجُوا المُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ العَرَبِ، وَأَجِيزُوا الوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ» وَالثَّالِثَةُ خَيْرٌ، إِمَّا أَنْ سَكَتَ عَنْهَا، وَإِمَّا أَنْ قَالَهَا فَنَسِيتُهَا، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: هَذَا مِنْ قَوْلِ سُلَيْمَانَ

    (1) (H. 3168) The speakers here disapproved of the opinion of other people who suggested that the Prophet ﷺ should not be asked to write as he was seriously ill.

  2. 2

    (2) (H. 3168) This means: I am busy preparing myself to meet my Lord, and that is better than the worldly affairs you are asking me to talk to you about.
