It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was reclining with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) after being wounded, and with them were also sitting Sayyiduna Ibn Umar and Sayyiduna Sa’id bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them both). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: All of you should know that I have not given any opinion regarding Kalalah, I have not appointed anyone as Khalifa after me, and the Arab prisoners who are in my possession and die during my lifetime, they are freed for the sake of Allah Almighty.
