Musnad of Talhah bin Ubaydullah
Musnad Abi Ya'la 655 — Yahya bin Talhah (may Allah have mercy on him)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُبَيْدٍ عَبْثَرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ قَالَ : رَأَى عُمَرُ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ حَزِينًا ، فَقَالَ : مَا لَكَ ؟ قَالَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : « إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَاتٍ لَا يَقُولُهُنَّ عَبْدٌ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ إِلَّا نُفِّسَ عَنْهُ ، وَأَشْرَقَ لَوْنُهُ ، وَرَأَى مَا يَسُرُّهُ » فَمَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا الْقُدْرَةُ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ مَا هِيَ ، قَالَ طَلْحَةُ : مَا هِيَ ؟ قَالَ : هَلْ تَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً هِيَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ كَلِمَةٍ دَعَا إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَمَّهُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ ؟ قَالَ طَلْحَةُ : هِيَ وَاللهِ هِيَ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ .
Yahya bin Talhah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) grieving and asked: "What is the matter with you?" He replied: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'I certainly know some words which no servant says at the time of death except that his distress is relieved, his colour becomes radiant, and he sees those sights (of Paradise) that delight him.' And nothing kept me from asking him (peace and blessings be upon him) about those words except that I was able to (ask whenever I wished)." At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed I know what those words are." Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "What are they?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do you know of any word more excellent than the word to which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) invited his uncle at the time of his death?" Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! It is that very word." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "(That word is) 'La ilaha illallah' (There is none worthy of worship except Allah)."
