Musnad of Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 256 — Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab once said while
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النُّكْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، أَنَّ مَعْدَانَ بْنَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيَّ، قَالَ: خَطَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ: رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ دِيكًا أَحْمَرَ نَقَرَ فِيَّ نَقْرَةً أَوْ نَقْرَتَيْنِ، وَلَا أَرَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا لِحُضُورِ أَجْلِي، فَإِنْ عَجِلَ بِي أَمْرٌ فَإِنَّ الْخِلَافَةَ شُورَى فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ السِّتَّةِ الَّذِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ، وَإِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ نَاسًا سَيَطْعَنُونَ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ، أَنَا قَاتَلْتُهُمْ بِيَدِي هَذِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَأُولَئِكَ أَعْدَاءُ اللَّهِ الْكُفَّارُ الضُّلَّالُ، وَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أُمَرَاءِ الْأَمْصَارِ، فَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُهُمْ لِيُعَلِّمُوا النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِمْ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَيَقْسِمُوا فَيْئَهُمْ. وَمَا أَغْلَظَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي شَيْءٍ، أَوْ مَا نَازَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ آيَةِ الْكَلَالَةِ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ صَدْرِي وَقَالَ: " يَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ الَّتِي أُنْزِلَتْ فِي آخِرِ النِّسَاءِ {يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ} [النساء: 176] وَمَا قُضِيَ فِيهَا بِقَضَاءٍ يَعْلَمُهُ مَنْ يَقْرَأُ وَمَنْ لَا يَقْرَأُ، هُوَ مَا خَلَا الْأَبَ كَذَا أَحْسَبُ " أَلَا إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرَتَيْنِ مَا أَرَاهُمَا إِلَّا خَبِيثَتَيْنِ: الْبَصَلِ وَالثُّومِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَمُرُّ بِالرَّجُلِ يُوجَدُ مِنْهُ رِيحُهُمَا يُخْرَجُ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ، فَمَنْ كَانَ لَا بُدَّ آكِلَهُمَا فَلْيُمِتْهُمَا طَبْخًا
It is narrated from Ma'dan bin Abi Talhah al-Ya'mari (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) once said while delivering a sermon: "I saw in a dream as if a red rooster pecked me once or twice, and I take it to mean nothing other than that the time of my death has drawn near. If the matter of my death comes quickly, then the caliphate is to be decided by mutual consultation (shura) among these six people with whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was pleased at the time of his death. I know that some people will find fault with this matter, though I myself have fought them with these hands of mine for the sake of Islam; if they do that, then they are the enemies of Allah, disbelievers and misguided. I call Allah to witness over the governors of all the cities that I sent them only so that they would teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and distribute among them their fay' (spoils obtained without fighting). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was never as stern with me about anything, nor did I press him (peace and blessings be upon him) about any matter, as much as I did about kalalah (a deceased person who leaves neither children nor father), until he (peace and blessings be upon him) struck my chest with his hand and said: 'The Verse of Summer (the verse revealed in summer), which was revealed at the end of Surah al-Nisa', is sufficient for you: (They ask you for a ruling. Say: Allah gives you a ruling concerning kalalah).' And the ruling about kalalah stated in this verse is known to everyone who can read and who cannot read, and my opinion is that it refers to the person who has no father (and no children). Take heed, O people! You eat from two plants (vegetables) which I consider nothing but disagreeable because of their smell, namely onions and garlic. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man from whom their smell was found, he would be taken out (of the mosque) to al-Baqi'. So whoever must eat them, let him kill their smell by cooking them."
