Musnad Abi Ya'la 10 — when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الْفِقْهِ ، غَيْرُ مُتَّهَمٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ يُحَدِّثُ : أَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَزِنُوا عَلَيْهِ ، حَتَّى كَادَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنْ يُوَسْوَسَ ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : فَكُنْتُ مِنْهُمْ ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي ظِلِّ أُطُمٍ ، مَرَّ عَلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيَّ فَلَمْ أَشْعُرْ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ وَلَا سَلَّمَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ عُمَرُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَا أُعَجِّبُكَ ؟ ! مَرَرْتُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ السَّلَامَ ، فَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ - فِي وِلَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ - حَتَّى أَتَيَا فَسَلَّمَا جَمِيعًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : جَاءَنِي أَخُوكَ عُمَرُ ، فَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَيْكَ فَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمْ تَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ ، فَمَا الَّذِي حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : مَا فَعَلْتُ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : بَلَى ، وَلَكِنَّهَا عُبِّيَّتُكُمْ يَا بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ ، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ : فَقُلْتُ : وَاللهِ مَا شَعَرْتُ بِأَنَّكَ مَرَرْتَ وَلَا سَلَّمْتَ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : صَدَقَ عُثْمَانُ ، وَقَدْ شَغَلَكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَمْرٌ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : أَجَلْ ، قَالَ : فَمَا هُوَ ؟ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ : قُلْتُ : تَوَفَّى اللهُ نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ نَجَاةِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ : فَقُلْتُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ، أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا نَجَاةُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ قَبِلَ مِنِّي الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي عَرَضْتُ عَلَى عَمِّي فَرَدَّهَا ، فَهِيَ لَهُ نَجَاةٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were so overcome with grief and sorrow that some of them began to be afflicted with misgivings. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I too was among those people. In that state of grief, one day I was sitting in the shade of a fortress when Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by me and greeted me, but (being absorbed in grief) I did not even notice that he had passed by or greeted me. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went from there to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Are you not amazed? I just passed by Uthman and greeted him, but he did not even return my greeting!" Then, during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), the two of them came to me together and greeted me. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Your brother Umar came to me and says that he passed by you and greeted you, but you did not reply. What led you to do that?" I said: "I did not do so." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said (emphatically): "Indeed you did; but this is your family pride, O Banu Umayyah!" Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: "By Allah! I did not even know that you passed by or greeted me." At this Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Uthman is telling the truth. Was some particular concern occupying you?" I said: "Yes." He asked: "What is it?" I said: "Allah Almighty took His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in death before I could ask him (peace and blessings be upon him) about the means of salvation in this matter (of religion and faith)." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) about it." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said (joyfully): "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you; you were the more deserving of it." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) related that he had said: "O Messenger of Allah! What is the means of salvation in this matter?" And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever accepts from me the word (La ilaha illallah) that I presented to my uncle and he rejected it, that very word is salvation for him."
