٣٩٨١٧ - حدثنا عبد العزيز بن أبان (عن سفيان) (١) عن معمر عن الزهري عن أنس (قال) (٢): لما قبض (رسول) (٣) اللَّه ﷺ بكى الناس، فقام عمر في المسجد خطيبًا، فقال: لا أسمع أحدا يزعم أن محمدًا قد مات، ولكن أرسل إليه ربُّه كما أرسل إلى موسى ربه، فقد أرسل اللَّه إلى موسى فلبث عن قومه أربعين ليلة، واللَّه إني لأرجو أن تقطع أيدي رجال وأرجلهم يزعمون أنه مات (٤).
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, people began to weep. Upon this, Hazrat Umar stood up in the mosque to deliver a sermon and said: I do not want to hear about any man who thinks that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has passed away. Rather, his Lord has sent him in the same state as He sent Musa. Allah Almighty sent a message to Musa, so he stayed away from his people for forty days. By God! I have firm hope that the hands and feet of those people will be cut off who think that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has died.
