ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ طَلَبَ مِنَ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ خِلَافَتَهُ بَعْدَهُ
[Machine] "Muslimah came with a great army until he settled in a palm tree. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was informed that he said, 'If Muhammad appoints me as his successor, I will follow him.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , approached him with only Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shams in his company, holding a page in his hand. He stood in front of him and said, 'If you had asked me for this, I would have given it to you. And if you turn away, Allah will surely destroy you. And this is Thabit, who will answer you on my behalf. And I thought it was you whom I saw in my dreams.'"
أَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ قَدِمَ فِي جَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَ فِي نَخْلٍ فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ إِنْ جَعَلَ لِي مُحَمَّدٌ الْأَمْرَ بَعْدَهُ تَبِعْتُهُ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا مَعَهُ إِلَّا ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ وَفِي يَدِهِ جَرِيدَةٌ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَوْ أَنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي هَذِهِ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ وَلَئِنْ أَدْبَرْتَ لَيَعْقِرَنَّكَ اللَّهُ وَهَذَا ثَابِتٌ يُجِيبُكَ عَنِّي وَإِنِّي لَأَحْسَبُكَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ فِيمَا أُرِيتُ»
