Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39847 — Reports on the caliphate of Umar bin

It is narrated from Amr bin Maymun that when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was struck with the spear, all the people were thrown into agitation, until the sun was about to rise. Then a caller called out: "The prayer!" So the people put Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) forward and he led the people in prayer, reciting two short surahs of the Holy Qur'an, that is: "Indeed, We have granted you al-Kawthar" [Al-Kawthar: 1] and "When the help of Allah comes" [Al-Nasr: 1]. When day had come, a physician came into the presence of Sayyiduna Umar while blood was flowing from his wounds. The physician asked: "Which drink do you like?" He said: "Nabidh." So nabidh was sent for and Sayyiduna Umar drank it, but it came out of his wounds. He said: "This is pus mixed with blood. Bring me milk." So milk was brought and he drank it, and it too came out of his wounds. At this the physician said to him: "Make your will, for I think that you will die within a day or two."
