عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيِّ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَا لَا أَرَاهَا إِلَّا لِحُضُورِ أَجَلِي رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ دِيكًا نَقَرَنِي نَقْرَتَيْنِ قَالَ وَذَكَرَ لِي أَنَّهُ دِيكٌ أَحْمَرُ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ امْرَأَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَتْ يَقْتُلُكَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَجَمِ قَالَ وَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يَأْمُرُونَنِي أَنْ أَسْتَخْلِفَ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُضَيِّعَ دِينَهُ وَخِلَافَتَهُ الَّتِي بَعَثَ بِهَا نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِنْ يَعْجَلْ بِي أَمْرٌ فَإِنَّ الشُّورَى فِي هَؤُلَاءِ السِّتَّةِ الَّذِينَ مَاتَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ فَمَنْ بَايَعْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا وَإِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أُنَاسًا سَيَطْعَنُونَ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ أَنَا قَاتَلْتُهُمْ بِيَدِي هَذِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ أُولَئِكَ أَعْدَاءُ اللَّهِ الْكُفَّارُ الضُّلَّالُ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ مَا أَتْرُكُ فِيمَا عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ رَبِّي فَاسْتَخْلَفَنِي شَيْئًا أَهَمَّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الْكَلَالَةِ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ مَا أَغْلَظَ لِي نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شَيْءٍ مُنْذُ صَحِبْتُهُ أَشَدَّ مَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِي شَأْنِ الْكَلَالَةِ حَتَّى طَعَنَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِي صَدْرِي وَقَالَ تَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ الَّتِي نَزَلَتْ فِي آخِرِ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ وَإِنِّي إِنْ أَعِشْ فَسَأَقْضِي فِيهَا بِقَضَاءٍ يَعْلَمُهُ مَنْ يَقْرَأُ وَمَنْ لَا يَقْرَأُ وَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ عَلَى أُمَرَاءِ الْأَمْصَارِ إِنِّي إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُهُمْ لِيُعَلِّمُوا النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ وَيُبَيِّنُوا لَهُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيَرْفَعُوا إِلَيَّ مَا عُمِّيَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرَتَيْنِ لَا أَرَاهُمَا إِلَّا خَبِيثَتَيْنِ هَذَا الثُّومُ وَالْبَصَلُ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَى نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجِدُ رِيحَهُمَا مِنَ الرَّجُلِ فَيَأْمُرُ بِهِ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِيَدِهِ فَيُخْرَجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يُؤْتَى بِهِ الْبَقِيعَ فَمَنْ أَكَلَهُمَا لَا بُدَّ فَلْيُمِتْهُمَا طَبْخًا قَالَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْجُمْعَةِ وَأُصِيبَ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ
It is narrated from Ma’bad bin Abi Talhah Ya’mari, he says: Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) stood on the pulpit on Friday, praised and glorified Allah Almighty. After that, he mentioned the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and then said: I have seen a dream, and in my opinion, its interpretation is that now the time of my death is near. I saw that a red rooster pecked me twice. When I narrated this dream before Sayyida Asma bint Umais, the wife of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), she said that some non-Arab man will kill Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: People tell me that I should appoint someone as my successor. Remember, Allah will not let go to waste the religion and caliphate with which He sent His Prophet. If my death comes soon, then this is a council of six persons. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, he was pleased with all of them. Whichever of them you pledge allegiance to, listen to him and obey him. I know well that some people will criticize and object in this matter. With these very hands of mine, I have fought against such people for Islam. Such people are enemies of Allah, disbelievers, and misguided. By Allah! Of the commands my Lord has given me and made me caliph, I am not leaving behind anything more important than the matter of kalalah. By Allah! Since I have been in the company of the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he never spoke to me as sternly about any matter as he did about kalalah. Until he (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his blessed finger on my chest and said: For this matter, the last verse of Surah An-Nisa, which was revealed in summer, is sufficient for you. If I remain alive, I will make such a decision about this issue that both the literate and illiterate will know it well. I make Allah a witness regarding the governors and representatives I have sent to various regions, that I sent them so that they may teach people the religion and teach them the Sunnah of the Prophet, and if any matter is not clear to them, they should bring it to me. O people! You eat two plants, that is, garlic and onion. I consider them extremely disliked. By Allah! I used to see the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he would smell their odor from someone, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would order regarding that person, and he would be taken out of the mosque and sent towards the Baqi’ graveyard. Whoever must eat these plants should cook them well. Ma’bad says that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered this address to the people on Friday, and on Wednesday he was attacked.
