4454. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: Abū Bakr went out while 'Umar bin Al- Khaṭṭāb was talking to the people. Abū Bakr said, "Sit down, O 'Umar!" But 'Umar refused to sit down. So, the people came to Abū Bakr and left 'Umar. Abū Bakr said, "Amma Ba'du (then after), whosoever amongst you used to worship Muḥammad ﷺ, then Muḥammad ﷺ is dead, and whosoever amongst you used to worship Allāh, then Allāh is Alive and shall never die. Allāh تعالى said: Muḥammad (ﷺ) is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him... (till the end of the Verse)... who are grateful'." (V.3:144) By Allāh, it was as if the people never knew that Allāh had revealed this Verse before, till Abū Bakr recited it and all the people received it from him, and I heard everybody reciting it (then).

4454 - قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَرَجَ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ: اجْلِسْ يَا عُمَرُ، فَأَبَى عُمَرُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ، فَأَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ، وَتَرَكُوا عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا قَدْ مَاتَ، وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ حَيٌّ لاَ يَمُوتُ، قَالَ اللَّهُ: {وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ} [آل عمران: 144] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {الشَّاكِرِينَ} [آل عمران: 144]، وَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْزَلَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ حَتَّى تَلاَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْهُ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ، فَمَا أَسْمَعُ بَشَرًا مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا يَتْلُوهَا " فَأَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ المُسَيِّبِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ: «وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ تَلاَهَا فَعَقِرْتُ، حَتَّى مَا تُقِلُّنِي رِجْلاَيَ، وَحَتَّى أَهْوَيْتُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ حِينَ سَمِعْتُهُ تَلاَهَا، عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ مَاتَ»
