[4234] 22 - (...) It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbâs said: “When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was dying, there were men in the house among whom was ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭâb. The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Come, let me dictate for you a document after which you will not go astray.’ ‘Umar said: ‘The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ is overcome with pain, and you have the Qur'an; the Book of Allāh is sufficient for us.' The people in the house disagreed, and they argued. Some of them said: 'Come close and let the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ dictate for you a document after which you will not go astray.' Others agreed with what 'Umar said. When their idle talk and argument in the presence of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ became too much, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Get up and leave.'" 'Ubaidullāh said: "Ibn 'Abbās used to say: 'What a calamity it was when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was prevented from dictating that document for them because of their disagreement and noise.'"

22 - (1637) وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ عَبْدٌ: أَخْبَرَنَا، وقَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا حُضِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ فِيهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلُمَّ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَا تَضِلُّونَ بَعْدَهُ»، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَجَعُ، وَعِنْدَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ حَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللهِ، فَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ، فَاخْتَصَمُوا فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ: قَرِّبُوا يَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ، فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا اللَّغْوَ وَالِاخْتِلَافَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قُومُوا»، قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ: فَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الرَّزِيَّةَ كُلَّ الرَّزِيَّةِ مَا حَالَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنِ اخْتِلَافِهِمْ وَلَغَطِهِمْ»
