When the time of the death of the Prophet ﷺ approached while there were some men in the house, and among them was ʿUmar bin Al-Khatttab, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Come near let me write for you a writing after which you will never go astray." ʿUmar said, "The Prophet ﷺ is seriously ill, and you have the Qur'an, so Allah's Book is sufficient for us." The people in the house differed and disputed. Some of them said, "Come near so that Messenger of Allah ﷺ may write for you a writing after which you will not go astray," while some of them said what ʿUmar said. When they made much noise and differed greatly before the Prophet, he said to them, "Go away and leave me." Ibn ʿAbbas used to say, "It was a great disaster that their difference and noise prevented Messenger of Allah ﷺ from writing that writing for them.
لَمَّا حُضِرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ فِيهِمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ هَلُمَّ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ قَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ غَلَبَهُ الْوَجَعُ وَعِنْدَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ فَحَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ وَاخْتَصَمُوا فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ قَرِّبُوا يَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا اللَّغَطَ وَالاِخْتِلاَفَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قُومُوا عَنِّي قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّزِيَّةَ كُلَّ الرَّزِيَّةِ مَا حَالَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنِ اخْتِلاَفِهِمْ وَلَغَطِهِمْ
