عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا حُضِرَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وَفِي الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ فِيهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم: هَلُمَّ أَكْتُب لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لاَ تَضِلُّونَ بَعْدَهُ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله صلّى الله عليه وسلّم قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَجَعُ وَعِنْدَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ حَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ. فَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ فَاخْتَصَمُوا فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ قَرّبُوا يَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ. وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ. فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا اللَّغْوَ وَالاِخْتِلاَفَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: قُومُوا. قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّزِيَّةَ كُلَّ الرَّزِيَّةِ مَا حَالَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنِ اخْتِلاَفِهِمْ وَلَغَطِهِمْ .
It is narrated by Hazrat Ibn Abbasra:
“As the Messengerra of Allah was nearing the end of his life, he was surrounded by several people, including Hazrat Umarra ibn al-Khattab, in his home. The Prophetsa said, ‘Let me write a document for you so that you will not go astray after it.’ Umarra responded, ‘The Prophetra is suffering greatly. We have the Quran, which suffices us as the Book of Allah.’ The people in the room were divided. Some insisted, ‘Bring the writing materials so that the Messengersa of Allah can write a document for you, and you will not stray after him.’ Others echoed what Umarra had said. As the disagreement grew and they spoke thoughtlessly in the Prophet’ssa presence, he told them, ‘Get up and leave.’ Ubaidullah mentioned that Hazrat Ibn Abbasra often said, ‘The true tragedy was the disagreement and commotion that prevented the Messengersa of Allah from writing that document.’”
