Hadith 10994
عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ خَالِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ ثُمَّ بَكَى حَتَّى بَلَّ دَمْعُهُ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً دُمُوعُهُ الْحَصَى قُلْنَا يَا أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ قَالَ اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَعُهُ فَقَالَ ”ائْتُونِي أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَا تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا“ فَتَنَازَعُوا وَلَا يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَ نَبِيٍّ تَنَازُعٌ فَقَالُوا مَا شَأْنُهُ أَهَجَرَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي هَذَى اسْتَفْهِمُوهُ فَذَهَبُوا يُعِيدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ”دَعُونِي فَالَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَنِي إِلَيْهِ“ وَأَمَرَ بِثَلَاثٍ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً أَوْصَى بِثَلَاثٍ قَالَ ”أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ“ وَسَكَتَ سَعِيدٌ عَنِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَسَكَتَ عَنْهَا عَمْدًا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أَوْ نَسِيَهَا وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ تَرَكَهَا أَوْ نَسِيَهَا
It is narrated from Saeed bin Jubair that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Thursday, what a Thursday!" Saying this, he began to weep, and he wept so much that his tears soaked the pebbles. We asked, "O Abu al-Abbas! What happened on Thursday?" He said: "On that day, the illness of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intensified, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Bring (paper and pen) to me. I will write something for you after which you will never go astray.' Those present began to dispute among themselves, although it was not appropriate to dispute in the presence of the Prophet. People began to say to each other, 'What has happened to him (peace and blessings be upon him)? Is he saying something due to the severity of illness or unconsciousness?' Imam Sufyan once said, 'Has he (peace and blessings be upon him) become delirious? Ask him again.' People turned towards him (peace and blessings be upon him) and repeatedly began to inquire (as to what he had commanded). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Leave me in my present state. What you are calling me towards, the state I am in is better than that.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded three things. Sufyan, the narrator, said that he (peace and blessings be upon him) made a bequest of three things. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Expel the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula, and take care of the delegations coming from outside just as I used to take care of them.' And regarding the third matter, Saeed bin Jubair remained silent. His students say: 'I do not know whether he deliberately remained silent or forgot the third matter.' Sufyan once said that either he deliberately omitted the third matter or forgot it."
Hadith 10995
عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ آتِيَهُ بِطَبَقٍ يَكْتُبُ فِيهِ مَا لَا تَضِلُّ أُمَّتُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ قَالَ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَفُوتَنِي نَفْسُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي أَحْفَظُ وَأَعِي قَالَ ”أُوصِي بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered me to bring him a broad bone so that he, peace and blessings be upon him, could have an important matter written on it, so that after him, his ummah would not go astray. Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I feared that if I went to get the bone, the soul of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, might depart. I submitted: O Messenger of Allah, tell me, I will memorize and preserve it. So he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I enjoin you to establish prayer, give zakat, and concerning that which your right hands possess.
Hadith 10996
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ”ائْتِنِي بِكَتِفٍ أَوْ لَوْحٍ حَتَّى أَكْتُبَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ كِتَابًا لَا يُخْتَلَفُ عَلَيْهِ“ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لِيَقُومَ قَالَ ”أَبَى اللَّهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ أَنْ يُخْتَلَفَ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ“
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the illness of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intensified, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): Bring me a broad bone of a shoulder or a tablet so that I may write a bequest regarding Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), so that there may be no disagreement over him. When Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) got up to do so, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Bakr! Allah and the believers have refused to disagree over you.
Hadith 10997
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ لَمَّا كَانَ وَجْعُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ قَالَ ”ادْعُوا لِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَابْنَهُ فَلْيَكْتُبْ لِكَيْ لَا يَطْمَعَ فِي أَمْرِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ طَامِعٌ وَلَا يَتَمَنَّى مُتَمَنٍّ“ ثُمَّ قَالَ ”يَأْبَى اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ“ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَقَالَ مُؤَمَّلٌ مَرَّةً وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَأَبَى اللَّهُ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ وَقَالَ مُؤَمَّلٌ مَرَّةً وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ أَبِي فَكَانَ أَبِي
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was in his final illness, he said: "Call Abu Bakr and his son to me, and let the writer write, so that no greedy or desirous person may covet or wish for the caliphate of Abu Bakr." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself said twice: "Allah and the people of Islam will not accept (anyone other than Abu Bakr)." Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: (It happened as such and) Allah and the Muslims and the believers refused, except that my father (became the caliph), so then my father became (the caliph).! In this chain, there is a narrator whose father's name is also Abu Bakr; at this place, the son of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), Abdur Rahman, is not meant. (Abdullah Rafiq)
Hadith 10998
عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعَا عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ بِصَحِيفَةٍ لِيَكْتُبَ فِيهَا كِتَابًا لَا يَضِلُّونَ بَعْدَهَا قَالَ فَخَالَفَ عَلَيْهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ حَتَّى رَفَضَهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) before his passing requested a scroll so that he could have something written on it by which people would not go astray after him, but Sayyiduna Umar ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) disagreed with this, until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself abandoned this intention.
