English translation

7366. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: When the time of the death of the Prophet ﷺ approached(1) while there were some men in the house, and among them was 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Come near, let me write for you a writing after which you will never go astray." 'Umar said, "The Prophet ﷺ is seriously ill, and you have the Qur'ān, so Allāh's Book is sufficient for us." The people in the house differed and disputed. Some of them said, "Come near so that Allāh's Messenger may write for you a writing after which you will not go astray," while some of them said what 'Umar said. When they differed greatly and there was a hue and cry before the Prophet ﷺ, he said to them, "Go away (and leave me alone)." Ibn 'Abbās used to say: It was a great disaster that their difference and noise prevented Allāh's Messenger ﷺ from writing that writing for them(2).

Arabic text

7366 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا حُضِرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ، وَفِي البَيْتِ رِجَالٌ فِيهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ، قَالَ: «هَلُمَّ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ»، قَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَلَبَهُ الوَجَعُ وَعِنْدَكُمُ القُرْآنُ فَحَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ، وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ البَيْتِ وَاخْتَصَمُوا، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ: قَرِّبُوا يَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ، فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا اللَّغَطَ وَالِاخْتِلاَفَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «قُومُوا عَنِّي»، قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، فَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الرَّزِيَّةَ كُلَّ الرَّزِيَّةِ مَا حَالَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ الكِتَابَ مِنَ اخْتِلاَفِهِمْ وَلَغَطِهِمْ»
