Musnad of Abdullah bin Umar
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5437 — when Sayyiduna Ghaylan bin Salamah al-Thaqafi
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ غَيْلَانَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ الثَّقَفِيَّ أَسْلَمَ وَتَحْتَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي عَهْدِ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ نِسَاءَهُ ، وَقَسَمَ مَالَهُ بَيْنَ بَنِيهِ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ فَلَقِيَهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي أَظُنُّ الشَّيْطَانَ فِيمَا يَسْتَرِقُ مِنَ السَّمْعِ سَمِعَ بِمَوْتِكَ ، فَقَذَفَهُ فِي نَفْسِكَ ، وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ لَا تَمْكُثَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ، وَايْمُ اللهِ لَتُرْجِعَنَّ نِسَاءَكَ وَلَتَرْجِعَنَّ فِي مَالِكَ ، أَوْ لَأُوَرِّثُهُنَّ ، وَلَآمُرَنَّ بِقَبْرِكَ فَيُرْجَمُ كَمَا رُجِمَ قَبْرُ أَبِي رِغَالٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Ghaylan bin Salamah al-Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) embraced Islam, he had ten wives in his marriage, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Choose four of them." Then, when the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, he divorced his wives and divided his wealth among his sons. When this news reached Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he met him and said: "I think that the devil, while snatching (news of) the heavens by eavesdropping, heard of your death and cast it into your heart, and perhaps your stay (in this world) now is only for a short while. By Allah, you shall take back your wives and take back your wealth, or else I will make these wives your heirs, and I will give such an order concerning your grave that it will be stoned just as the grave of Abu Righal was stoned."
